Footnotes and Marginalia

George Santayana (1863-1952), Soliloquies in England and Later Soliloquies (London: Constable and Company Ltd., 1922), p. 124:
There are books in which the footnotes, or the comments scrawled by some reader's hand in the margin, are more interesting than the text.
Santayana's own scrawled comments, from the margins of books in his personal library, have now been collected in two volumes by John McCormick (Cambridge: MIT Press, 2011).
