​"Among the earliest ambitions to be excited in clerks, workmen, journeymen, and indeed, among all that are struggling up in life from nothing to something, is that of owning, and constantly adding to, a library of good books."
—Anonymous, 1889.

​"The first step is to establish a regulated economy of your time, so that without interference with a due attention to business and to health, you may get two clear hours every day for reading of the best kind.  It is not much, some men would tell you that it is not enough, but I purposely fix the expenditure of time at a low figure because I want it to be practicable consistently with all the duties and necessary pleasures of your life."
—Philip Gilbert Hamerton, 1885.
The Intellectual Life, 1885, p. 204.
