OPINIONS
Regarding the Charles Dudley Warner
Library of the
Worlds Best
Literature"

The project to publish a work that
brary OF the Worlds Best Literature was,
not entirely novel when it was undertaken
by the International society q few years
ago. The manner and extent OF the
achievement. however, have not parallel
in the making Of books, even in this book
making age. In selecting Mr.. Charles Dudley,
Warner for editor Of this work the publish
ers gave the best possible guaranty that
it would be worthy of its name. and this
assurance was strengthened BY securing
as his assistants and advisers the most
eminent professors of literature in the uns-
versities of america. In two years these
editors. assisted by many other eminent
scholars and specialists and backed by
abundant capital, have produced a work
in thirty volumes OF about TOO pages each.
II is not extravagant TO call this a IL
brary.' for it is one. and its completeness
is something surprising, considering the
vast field which il attempts 20 cover. The
work is not merely a cyclopaedia OF the
literature OF all ages, giving more or less
elaborate reviews of thousands of books
and long extracts from many hundreds
but it is a dictionary OF authors. giving
biographical sketches and fine portraits OF,
many hundreds OF great authors. while
thousands more are given sufficient space
for a biographical sketch OF appropriate,
length. The whole work is arranged alpha
betically. so as 10 be of ready reference
value. and it is illustrated and Illuminated,
by thousands of pictures in all the art OF
the best illustrations, II one has a fine
collection OF books the Warner Library
will be It's GROWING glory and II one has
no library the Warner Library will CON-
stitute CONSTITUTIONAL, Omaha World
Herald.
My confidence in books approaching
anything like the subscription process has
been so frequently abused and have been
fooled so often by some high-soundinx
name connected with a book proposed to
be published that declined for some time
