In the Track of the Bookworm

hilosophers have made various and ingenious but incomplete attempts to form a succinct definition of the animal, Man. At first thought it might seem that a perfect definition would be, an animal who makes collections. But one must remember that the magpie does this. Yet this definition is as good as any, and comes nearer exactness than most What has not the animal Man collected? Clocks, watches, snuff-boxes, canes, fans, laces, precious stones, china, coins, paper money, spoons, prints, paintings, tulips, orchids, hens, horses, match-boxes, postal stamps, miniatures, violins, show-bills, play-bills, swords, buttons, shoes, china slippers, spools, birds, butterflies, beetles, saddles, skulls, wigs, lanterns, book-plates, knockers, crystal balls, shells, penny toys, death-masks, tea-pots, [Pg 10]autographs, rugs, armour, pipes, arrow heads, locks of hair and key locks, and hats (Jules Vernes Tale of a Hat), these are some of the most prominent subjects in search of which the animal Man runs up and down the earth, and spends time and money without scruple or stint But all these curious objects of search fall into insignificance when compared with the ancient, noble and useful passion for collecting books.
