Excerpt from The New Plato: Or Socrates Redivivus
The reading of Plato is, like that of the Bible, only in a smaller way, indulged in by all supposedly educated Americans during their University days and remembered only in form. Indeed, the Bible has this advantage over Plato: it is read publicly every Sunday, so that snatches of its verbal grandeur must of necessity percolate through the minds of some of our more prominent citizens who have a reputation to maintain and therefore consider church-going in the nature of a necessity. But Plato stands unopened on the bookshelves.
