ought to be prouder than it is. To this rule, however,
I have been constrained to make a few exceptions. Sir Thomas More's
*Utopia* was written in Latin, but one does not easily conceive
a library to be complete without it. And could one exclude
Sir Isaac Newton's *Principia*, the masterpiece of the greatest physicist
that the world has ever seen? The law of gravity ought to have,
and does have, a powerful sentimental interest for us.
