OUR LIBRARY.

II we wished TO get an insight into
the general disposition Of any person
who had any intellectual learning what

which BE- preferred. And we should

works as might he mentioned that did
not enjoy an equally high reputation.
There are certain books which wouid
beinclu0ed in such list. vs-y largely
for conventional reaeons. although both
taste and judgment would approve
their selection. Few, for instance,
would omit some play OF Shakespeare.
irasmuch as reading and the theatre
have familiarized even those who
make no pretensiOns to literature with
the most famous Of his comedies and
tragedies.
There would be more boldness in
passing over Milton, aud there would
b. no hesitation whatever in excluding
any one OF the other great writers.
whether in prose or poetry, OF England
and America.

enthusiasm which distinguishes the
youthful reader, aud which, in fact,
will create world for him where one
is not even suggested. In only too

cheerful friends and companions 10
whom we turn for few moments Of
forgetfulness Of the disturbing c0ndl-

they are sober friends and companions
