A fine read indeed. This quote in particular resonated:
"Many who have ''plied their book diligently," and know all about some one branch or another of accepted lore, come out of the study with an ancient and owl-like demeanour, and prove dry,
stockish, and dyspeptic in all the better and brighter
parts of life. Many make a large fortune, who remain underbred and pathetically stupid to the last."
