AI-generated Review of “The book-lover's enchiridion.”:
Snippets and Summary:
Some books are only cursorily to be tasted of. Namely first, voluminous books, the task of a man's life is to read them over; secondly, auxiliary books, only to be repaired to on occasions; thirdly, such as are mere pieces of formality, so that if you look upon them, you look through them; and he that peeps through the casement of the index, sees as much as if he were in the house. But the laziness of those cannot be excused who perfunctorily pass over authors of consequence, and only trade in their tables and contents. These, like city-cheaters, have gotten the names of all country gentlemen, make silly people believe they have long lived in those places where they never were, and flourish with skill in those authors they never seriously studied. Thomas Fuller 1608-1661
