Victorian Literature: Sixty Years of Books and Bookmen

Transcriber's Note:

Obvious typographical errors have been corrected. Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation in the original document have been preserved.

Births have brought us richness and variety,

And other births will bring us richness and variety;

I do not call one greater and one smaller;

That which fills its period and place is equal to any.

Walt Whitman
