I can find "A house without books is like a room without windows" attributed regularly to Horace Mann -- I can't verify that, but it might help someone else direct a search. :)
In his paper READINGS ON READING.
L The Duty of Owning Books.
BY HENRY WARD BEECHER.
He uses the direct quote. The thread of evidence is leading him right now. Please let me know if you find anything else. My thanks Bob
Henry Ward Beecher
Heinrich Mann
Horace Mann
Can anyone help me and verify which person is the correct answer? It is a matter of some importance.
gratefully yours
