To use books rightly, is to go to them for help; to appeal to them when our own knowledge and power fail; to be led by them into wider sight and purer conception than our own, and to receive from them the united sentence of the judges and councils of all time, against our solitary and unstable opinions.

正确使用书籍，就是向他们寻求帮助;当我们自己的知识和力量失败的时候，呼吁他们;在他们的引导下，我们能看到比我们自己更广阔的视野和更纯洁的观念，并从他们那里接受法官和议会对我们孤立和不稳定的意见的一致判决。
