A WORK ron BUSY PEOPLE.

The Library of the Worlds Best Lit
erature now in course of publication
under the direction Of Charles Dudley
Warner, seems to have been Amos:
especially modelled for busy men ana
women who have little time for eX-
haustive study, and whose hours of
reading are, as 1T were, snatched from
their daily work; and it is notable that
by no class has this monumental enter
prise been more warmly welcomed
than by just these busy people. For
example, ex-senator Warner Miller,
one of the foremost politicians OF New
York, writes of the Library the follow
ing: II find it in every way most
admirable work. 1t is complete
library Of the literature of the world in
epitome, and one which will be read
with great interest for all time to
come 1t will fill a most important
place in my library and afford me
many hours of pleasure and profit the
remainder Of my life. 1t is a work
which should be found in the library
of every student and lover of liter
ature."
So, again, Hon. William B. Horn
blower, the famous corporation lawyer
whom President Cleveland nominated
for a place upon the Supreme Bench,
says: The work far exceeds my ex-
pectations. The articles descriptive of
constitute Of themselves literary
work Of the highest nrder and are
most entertaining as well as instruc-
i've
George H. Daniels, the General Pas
senger Agent Of the New York Cen
tIal Railway, and one of the best
known railway men in the United
States, writes thus: Il take pleasure
In saying that 1 believe the work is

deal To all who have the good for
tune to possess it, it will prove it's

Charles Stewart Smith, President Of
The New York Chamber Of Commerce,
and a noted merchant OF that city,
says: Il regard the Library Of the
Worlds Best Literature as most val

In similar vein, ex-United States
Senator Patrick Walsh, Of Augusta
Ga, writes: II take very great pleas
nre in endorsing the Library as a
mine of ineXhaustible literary treas
ures. That it is edited by Charles
Dudley Warner is a guarantee Of it's
