Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Heralds of the Cross or the Fulfilling of the Command: Chapters on Missionary Work Readers of Washington Irving´s "Sketch Book" may remember his fanciful paper on "The Art of Book-making." In it he describes his visit to the reading-room of the British Museum, where he finds a number of writers busily employed in "manufacturing books" out of the stores of knowledge painfully collected by now forgotten authors. This unacknowledged borrowing of other men´s labours at first stirs him to indignation, but after a while he reflects that "this pilfering disposition" may be "implanted in authors for wise purposes:" that this may be the appointed way by which "the seeds of knowledge and wisdom shall be preserved from age to age;" that in this way the fine thoughts of ancient and forgotten writers are "caught up," and cast forth "again to bear fruit in a remote and distant tract of time."
