Answer:
A young man wrote to me the other day lamenting his ignorance and requesting me to tell him
what books to read and what to do in order to become learned and wise. I sent him a civil answer
and such advice as occurred to me. But I confess that the more I thought of the matter the less
assured I felt of my competence for the task. I ceased to be flattered by the implied tribute to my
omniscience, and felt rather like a person who gives up a third-class ticket after he has ridden in
a first-class carriage might feel. I surveyed my title to this reputation for learning, and was
shocked at the poverty of my estate.
