There should be a social or circulating library in every town. Less money than a man spends on an election, or training day for punch or grog, would entitle him a reader or proprietor. ... In rainy weather, in winter, or holidays, in the intervals of rest, or during sickness, books will afford treasures and consolations which blockheads know not of. ... They raise men from being savages and brutes. In a word, no town should be destitute of a library.
