§10. Conclusion and Peroration.

In conclusion we wish all our readers long life and happiness in the New Library, with much increase of knowledge and gentleness of manners, and the mien and bearing of true students. We beg them to recall the long tradition of dignified erudition that attaches to the Old Library, and to maintain that tradition in all their dealings with the New Library; calling to remembrance the fact that though the way of knowledge is hard, nevertheless sic itur ad astra (Virgil).

—Junius Brutus.
