“A little instruction in the elements of chartography—a little practice in the use of the compass and the spirit level, a topographical map of the town common, an excursion with a road map—would have given me a fat round earth in place of my paper ghost.”

“And let a scholar all earth’s volumes carry,
He will be but a walking dictionary:
A mere articulate clock.”
