Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Translated Prophet If any household among us had now in its possession an ancient and valuable book, that, had belonged in the same family for over two hundred years, that had been especially esteemed as an heirloom, inseparable from the direct line of inheritance, and that had been read by each father, and personally handed down to each elder son with a sacred injunction to pass it down to his successors, how would such a book be prized! We would take pride in preserving uninjured the ancient binding, that could not be renewed by the taste of modern binders; we would read the lines with greater interest because our fathers had read them before us; we would decipher the antiquated type, and perhaps be puzzled by the strange abbreviations of the earlier printers; and if the ancestors, in their reading, had made brief notes upon the margin, these we would carefully ponder, as indicating the topics in which they took a special interest, and as giving us their views upon them.
