“The authoress of A BUNDLE OF LETTERS FROM OVER THE SEA has produced a
book _unlike any other_. It is original, bright, entertaining, and shows
what an open-eyed, independent American woman can see.”--_Press._
“Good as it is to inherit a library, it is better to collect one. Each
volume then, however lightly a stranger’s eye may roam from shelf to
shelf, has its own individuality, a history of its own. You remember
where you got it, and how much you gave for it.... The man who has a
library of his own collection is able to contemplate himself
objectively, and is justified in believing in his own existence. No
other man but he would have made precisely such a combination as his.
Had he been in any single respect different from what he is, his
library, as it exists, never would have existed. Therefore, surely he
may exclaim, as in the gloaming he contemplates the backs of his loved
ones, ‘They are mine, and I am theirs.’”
