came into his hands , and then he seems to have gone through a course of a different typ V V e IfI
library including of tales 150 volumes of pirates , and and here criminals he began . When his own he reached efforts in his authorshi first seminary p by writing , he found a I I i ^ K «> ^^ *^& . ^ bb * BBh . bbj ¦ & SB ah . atak ^ ^ B -an — A a ^ aj ^ ab x SB a ^_ essays ™^ I
which were afterwards read out in public , a mode of cultivating the habit of expressing hfe thoughts well fitted to contribute to his success as a speaker . At his next school the I
library numbered 2 , 000 volumes , and here he began a practice which every genuine reader I knows to be invaluable . When seen , pen in hand , reading Young's ' Night Thoughts wsj '
Garfield was asked if he was transcribing p savm it , and his answer *^ was ^¦ aa ^ , ' No ^* a ^ , taking ^ fcaw notes : I ¦¦ note i m the important wmm topics . bbb on which the book treats sp 3 - with the pages bbb » ^ bb- , ar that I may turn to any topic W ^ «*^ 0
of which it treats , should I have occasion , hereafter . I mean to do the same with every book I readand preserve the note 3 for future use . ' Referring again to the same subject with a
, schoolmate Bah mto _ who aaai argued sbb . that & «¦ - he A was wasting a . fe time ^ Wk , the * al young reader ^ said Mh « ak , * I ^ aaa > spend aaft no more time over a book than you do , I think . I catch the drift and appropriate the strong points ¦
and let all the rest slide . Taking ^ notes serves to impress the contents bbbb "" a . vm on my memory . ^^^ ji Then ^ mmr hereafter , when I speak or write upon a given topic , my notes will direct me to necessary
material . ' At college he wrote in the students' quarterly magazine , and some of his contributions , especially in poetry , were of a high order of merit , while he soon became one of the most popular lecturers in Ohio , discoursing upon such subjects as c The Character and
Writings of Sir a ^ aa Walter Scott , ' Carly le's ' Frederic ^ mmr the -. » Great , ' and ""F other standard works , his —^ knowledge of which proved that he had used his time to good purpose . The breadth of his
reading had taught him the advantage of looking at a subject from every point of view , and his advice to students was , Use several text-books : get the views of different authors as you
advance : in that way you can plough a broader furrow . I always study in that way . * How largel ^¦^ y the success of his after life was due to this habit of communing with the minds of great tJ
and good men through their books it is not difficult to imagine , and perhaps no better argument in favour of placing literature before the people by means of free libraries was ever
furnished than by the brilliant career of the man whose untimely death has excited the
sympathy of the whole civilised world .
