| A book is good company. 1t is
full of conversation without loquacity

struction, but pursues you never. 1t
is not offended at your absent-minded-
ness, nor jealous if you turn to other
pleasures. 1t silently serves the soul

hire of love. And yet more noble. it
seems to pass from itself. and to enter
the memory, and to hover in silvery
TRANSPORTATION there, until the out
ward book is but a body, and its soul
and spirit are flown to you, and possess
your memory like spirit.--Beecher.
