and one has to search for it there,

So long as we are children we are attracted by toys, and the tower was a good demonstration of the fact that we are all children attracted by trinkets.

But I know that the booklet has profoundly influenced the lives of many, both in the East and in the West, who have never seen Indian Opinion.”
