In the Name of the Bodleian and Other Essays By Augustine Birrell In the Name of the Bodleian, and Other Essays by Augustine Birrell It is pleasant to be admitted into the birth-chamber of a great idea destined to be translated into action. Bodley proceeds to state the four qualifications he felt himself to possess to do this great bit of work first, the necessary knowledge of ancient and modern tongues and of sundry other sorts of scholastical literature second, purse ability; third, a great store of honourable friends; and fourth, leisure.
