Excerpt from Browsing Among Books, and Other Essays

The gentle Elia informs us, in one of those essays which the world still loves to read, that Cousin Bridget in her youth was suffered to browse at will upon the fair and wholesome pasturage of a good English library; and he adds his belief that such an education makes most incomparable old maids. When we remember how many authors, besides Pope, Shakspeare, and Jean Jacques, have thus gained their stock of learning, with little favor from the schools, we may add that desultory reading can make, also, incomparable poets and philosophers, when genius has not been wanting at the start.
