The Intellectual Touch: Developing A Plan For The Universal Dissemination Of Knowledge And Virtue By Means Of Free Public Libraries is a book written by Jesse Torrey Jr. in 1912. The book presents a comprehensive plan for the establishment and promotion of free public libraries as a means of disseminating knowledge and virtue to the masses. The author argues that the intellectual touch of books can inspire and educate people, leading them to a life of virtue and wisdom. Torrey Jr. outlines the history of libraries and their role in society, as well as the benefits of a universal library system. He also discusses the challenges and obstacles faced in establishing such a system, and proposes solutions to overcome them. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of libraries, the promotion of education, and the dissemination of knowledge and virtue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
