What- 136 The Choice of Books. ever advantages may be derived from the grammatical study of a language and they are great, perhaps essential the student should not imagine that grammatical study, unsupple- mented by something more, is literary study. I am not decrying grammar. I am only say- ing that philology is one thing, and a knowl- edge of the spirit and life of a foreign literature is quite another thing. There are old and eminent colleges at the north which do far less toward leading the...ir students toward the literatures of their own and other languages than is done by more than one small and feeble insti- tution at the west or south. So far as literary culture is concerned, then, these venerable and illustrious colleges are failures, and these new and feebly equipped " universities " of newer communities are successes. An institution of learning which fetters its classes in chains whose links are mere grammatical niceties, is not to be accounted a literary institution at all, in compar- ison with one which directs its students to the fair fields of belles-lettres, and strives to imbue them with the idea that the spirit and life of Homer is something beyond and above the anatomy of the Greek verb.
