_The greatest pleasure in life is that of reading. Why not then own thebooks of great novelists when the price is so small_
_Of all the amusements which can possibly be imagined for a hard-workingman, after his daily toil, or, in its intervals, there is nothing likereading an entertaining book. It calls for no bodily exertion. Ittransports him into a livelier, and gayer, and more diversified andinteresting scene, and while he enjoys himself there he may forget theevils of the present moment. Nay, it accompanies him to his next day'swork, and gives him something to think of besides the mere mechanicaldrudgery of his every-day occupation--something he can enjoy whileabsent, and look forward with pleasure to return to._
