"Consider" Quotes from Famous Books



... books? Free libraries are few and far between: in all London, for instance, I can find but five or six. They are those at the Guildhall, Bethnal Green, Westminster, Camden Town, Notting Hill, and Knightsbridge. Put a red dot upon each of these sites on the map of London, and consider how very small can be the influence of these libraries over the whole of this great city. Boys and girls at thirteen have no inclination to read newspapers; there remains, therefore, nothing but the penny novelette for those who have any desire to read at all. There is, it is true, ...

No person was now within call but a little page of her own, and perhaps the porter at the convent.

For if without good the indifference to that which is not good cannot be understood, much less does the knowing of ...
