Excerpt from Book Sales of 1895: A Record of the Most Important Books Sold at Auction and the Prices Realized With Introduction Notes and Index The question of celibacy is rather a delicate one, and I am inclined to agree with'm. Brunet. Women are pretty shrewd when they look askance on the husbands who profess to love them as well as the books they nightly and surreptitiously sneak into the house. The point about the learning is also a delicate one - so few book-collectors come up to it. Perhaps it will be better to leave this matter alone, and make silence the intimation of acquiescence.
