A New Kind of Knowing
"Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a
subject ourselves, or we know where we
can find information upon it. When we
enquire into any subject, the first thing we
have to do is to know what books have
treated of it. This leads us to look at
catalogues, and at the backs of books in
libraries."
Samuel Johnson
(Boswell's Life of Johnson)
