“...private libraries, however large, are apt to contain only the classical works of quite exceptional men and the less important works which happen to be specially interesting or useful to the owner. But in a public library the treasures and the rubbish of the literary world are alike hoarded; and the works of exceptional men whom everybody remembers are lumped in with the works of all their less distinguished cousins and great-uncles, whose names the world of readers has forgotten.”

— John Fiske, “A Librarian's Work”
The Atlantic Monthly, Vol. XXXVIII
Issue CCXXVIII, Oct. 1876, p. 485
