People have now a-days, (said he,) got a strange opinion that every thing should be taught by lectures. Now, I cannot see that lectures can do so much good as reading the books from which the lectures are taken.

If one be better with them or without,
Unless he use them wisely, and, indeed,
Knows the high art of what and how to read.
