Six Books that walked us hither, set in their order. Freely given; nothing asked.
The Table is a-laying…
Two Books that shaped us are not upon this shelf. The one is not ours to give away.
The other carrieth a contempt for whole peoples, which we refuse. One line of it abideth with us:
our Hope is placed in the happiness of our posterity. (Winwood Reade, 1872)
