that their triumphant literature and
their matchless oratory came to flower
before grammar was dreamed of. That

great arts which they wrought out and

collecting not only all the rare and
precious objects and books and manu-
scripts there were in the world, but he
capped it all by making a collection of
the living men OF the world who had
any reputation anywhere for knowing

homes where they had some relation
to the daily necessities Of human be
ings. and had really been of some use.
