As they cannot be inherited, so they cannot be alienated. But they may be shared, they may be distributed, and it is the object and office of a free public library to perform these beneIicent functions.
Stran 70 - ... shall we expect from time, the physician of brutes, a lingering and uncertain deliverance ? Shall we wait to be happy till we can forget that we are miserable, and owe to the weakness of our faculties a tranquillity which ought to be the effect of our strength ? Far otherwise.
Stran 97 - There is no defense or security for any of us except in the highest intelligence and development of all.
