There are two ways of behaving towards Thomas' writings, analogous to several treatments of a church still standing in which the saint might have worshiped. One way is to hand the edifice over to some Society for the Preservation of Ancient Monuments; they will keep it locked to the vulgar, while admitting some occasi...
