The study of bibliography and of the scientific methods of using books should have an assured place in the university curriculum, and . . . . all who go forth into the world as graduates should have such an intelligent and practical knowledge of books as will aid them in their studies through life. . . . . . . I do not mean that the university student should learn the contents of the most useful books; but I do mean that he should know of their existence, what they treat of, and what they will do for him. He should know what are the most important reference books. . . . . If a question arises as to the existence, authorship, or subject of a book, an educated man should know the catalogues or bibliographies by which he can readily clear up the doubt. The words Watt, Graesse, Quérard, Hoefer, Kayser, Hinrichs,

....

Hain, and Vapereau should not be unmeaning sounds to him. He should know the standard writers on a large variety of subjects. He should be familiar with the best method by which the original investigation of any topic may be carried on. ... No person has any claim to be a scholar until he can conduct such an original investigation with ease and pleasure. -WILLIAM FREDERICK POOLE (1821-94)

I think, sir,.. you will find it a very good practice always to verify your references.-MARTIN Joseph Routh (1755-1854)

This is my chief word of advice to every teacher. If you wish to make a text your own, if you wish to have any sort of right to give any opinions with regard to it, the least you can do is to verify your references.

.

I can assure you that this is the easiest and best way of learning to be a scholar, and therefore of qualifying yourself for being a teacher. But I have a special reason, even beyond this, for giving this advice. For it is the way to gain a true interest in the subject you are teaching; . . . . and it is the way to open your eyes. Scholarship . is a question of having eyes or having no eyes. If you have no eyes, you will not make much of . . . . scholarship. Moreover, the particular eyesight of which I am now speaking is a thing that can be acquired; and it can be acquired and trained, at any rate to an elementary extent, by the simple process of looking to see, when a reference is given you, whether the thing which is asserted is really so.

. . . . To one who has never yet tried it, such advice seems to be the stupidest and the dullest imaginable; and perhaps the most useless. But the man who has tried it soon learns to know better. For the results are often so wholly surprising, so novel, so sensational, that anyone who honestly tries to follow up to their sources only a few items of information will soon be caught by the excitement of it, and will soon learn to do by choice and out of pure pleasure what he began to do out of duty or curiosity. —WALTER WILLIAM SKEAT (1835-1912)
