    What a place to be in is an old library! It seems as though all
    the souls of all the writers that have bequeathed their labours
    to these Bodleians were reposing here as in some dormitory, or
    middle state. I do not want to handle, to profane the leaves,
    their winding-sheets. I could as soon dislodge a shade. I seem
    to inhale learning, walking amid their foliage; and the odor of
    their old moth-scented coverings is fragrant as the first bloom
    of those sciential apples which grew amid the happy orchard.
    - Charles Lamb (used pseudonym Elia),

A public library is the most enduring of memorials, the trustiest monument for the preservation of an event or a name or an affection; for it, and it only, is respected by wars and revolutions, and survives them
