We have "animals" for literature, "Cabinet" Encyclopaedias, "Family" Libraries, "Diffusion" Societies, and heaven knows what else! What is all this for?

And the result will be injurious to all classes. ~ Benjamin Haydon ~ Learning isn't a means to an end; it is an end in itself. ~ Robert Heinlein ~ There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring.
