The world of books is the most remarkable creation of man. Nothing
else that he builds ever lasts. Monuments fall; nations perish;
civilizations grow old and die out; and, after an era of darkness, new
races build others. But in the world of books are volumes that have seen
this happen again and again, and yet live on, still young, still as
fresh as the day they were written, still telling men's hearts of the
hearts of men centuries dead.
