Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Benjamin Jowett, M.A., Master of Balliol College, Oxford, Vol. 2 of 2 It was J owett's habit to write down notes of con versations which interested him, or of his own thoughts and reading, a practice which grew upon him, as the circle of his friends became wider and the subjects in which he was interested more numerous. Had he left nothing else behind him but these notes, he might still claim a place among the remarkable men of his time, so large is the number of the distinguished persons with whom he is brought in contact, so great the variety of subjects with which his mind is engaged, so forcible the language in which he expresses his thoughts, so original, or at least uncommon, the views which he takes.
