About this item:

Excerpt from The Search for Good Sense

On the Other hand, a life grows lifeless if too short. For vividness depends on detail. The brevity of an encyclopaedia can reduce to prosaic boredom even a Casar or an Alexander. Therefore there is often much to be said, I think, for a happy mean — a length of 60 — 120 pages, which attempts to omit nothing that is really vital, and to include nothing that is not; which can leave a unified impression, but not lay a staggering load upon the memory. (a supreme success at this, to my mind, is sainte-beuve.1)
