All our arts and occupations lie wholly on the surface; it is on the surface that we perceive their beauty, fitness, and significance; and to pry below is to be appalled by their emptiness and shocked by the coarseness of the strings and pulleys.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
