IN FOUR VOLUMES

What work is nobler than transplanting foreign thought into the barren domestic soil? except indeed planting thought of your own, which the fewest are privileged to do.—Sartor Resartus A philosophical work by Thomas Carlyle..
At each flaw, be this your first thought: the author doubtless said something quite different, and much more to the point. And then you may hiss me off, if you will.—LUCIAN, Nigrinus, 9.
(Lucian) The last great master of Attic Attic: Pertaining to Athens; associated with the highest standards of ancient Greek style eloquence and Attic wit.—Lord Macaulay.
