Book Description
Excerpt from Paul Ulric, or the Adventures of an Enthusiast, Vol. 1 of 2 Among his amusements were the opera, horse racing, and cards. I know of but one thing, indeed, which he abhorred, and that was learning. Books he considered as so much waste-paper. He had a theory peculiar to himself. He contended that the only true and essential knowledge con sisted in a proper understanding of mankind - in being able to comprehend their characters - to study their motives - to dive into the secrets of their very thoughts. I shall not soon forget, young as I was at the time, 'the solemnity with which he one day spoke on this very important subject.
