Excerpt from The Library of the Late Theodore Low De Vinne
Those embodying the aspirations and attainments of a trained mind which spent years in bringing together books selected with a certain end in View and those which were assembled with the sole idea of acquiring numbers of volumes expensive and rare. The first is a partially realized dream, the heart of the owner's desires; the second, no matter how choice and valuable, is only a collection of books.
