Even from his boyhood he was an industrious reader of standard authors. and previous to his entering college his favorite books were Addison's Spectator, Butler's Hudibras, and Pope's trans. of Homer, and Essay on Man. He was particularly fond of Shakespeare's plays and Don Quixote. In addition to the Latin classics he studies with interest...
