On this volume rest the foundations of the great universities of Paris, Oxford and Cambridge. The first public library of modern Europe in Glasgow owed its origin to the same source. To its matchless themes Stuart Mill attributed the power of the Scotch intellect. The greatest minds have been its deepest students.
