You will say that you go to school and get all your lessons well. I grant it. You may do this until you are nineteen, --then you leave, and you know, perhaps, ten or twelve books perfectly. But, my dear Anna, this is not knowledge; it is drudgery, and you go to it as a task. It is the mere stowing away of a few isolated facts that you have no command over, and are as likely to bewilder as to benefit.
