There was a time when poor stuâ€" dents had a greater familiarity with books than their more fortunate sucâ€" cessors toâ€"day, They had not the same advantages but many of them seem to have been endowed with, or early to have acquired, a bookâ€"sense, which led them to collect for themselves curiâ€" Budapestâ€"The end of the war brought great changes to Hungary.
