can read, from week to week, the selections
brought before him in The LIVING AGE, without
becoming conscious of quickening of his own
faculties, and an enlargement of his mental
horizon. Few private libraries, of course, can
now secure the back volumes, sets of which are
limited and costly. But public libraries in towns
and villages ought, il possible, to be furnished
with such treasury of good reading; and indi

series. and thus keep pace in future with the age
in which they live"
