[PW] Re: ?quotation "It is well to read"

[swguardian-stumpers at yahoo.com]

It may have come from this: 
  
"...this sense the great writers suffice of themselves, if they be thoroughly known, without the need of reading many books; this is often to be observed in life, for it is not needful to read much but to read well;" 
  
George Edward Woodberry, Appreciation of Literature, and America in Literature (New York: Harcourt Brace and Company, 1921) 129

  Patron wants to know who said, "It is well to read but better to read
well." I've checked several editions of Bartlett's, Evans, Oxford and tried
a few google searches.

Thanks in advance for any help.
