Although it may not be necessary to have read Beattie's essay on "Classical Education" to be a cultivated man, it is true that nothing will give culture or, indeed, education so quickly as general outside reading. Whether it be supplemented by a college curriculum or manual labor it is the reading of books upon which we must found our cultivation. "Show me his books and I will tell you the man," is so true and invariably reliable that it is strange...
