The World Beautiful in Books
The careful and repeated reading of “The World Beautiful in Books” would be a liberal education.—Philadelphia Telegraph.
It is like a Greek urn filled with priceless relics. Hundreds of brains, ancient and modern, are daintily picked of their best thoughts, and there is scarcely a page that is not enriched with some rifled treasure. It is, in fact, concentrated food for select minds.—Chicago Post.
To read it is like being taken informally into a great assemblage of poets, romancers, and thinkers, while all are at their best, and being introduced to them by a near friend of all.—The Era, Philadelphia.
