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

THE project TO publish a work that
should enclose within its covers a Ii
brary of the Worlds Best Literature was
not entirely novel when it was undertaken
by the International society a 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 uni
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 200 pages each.
II Is not extravagant 20 call this a IL
brary' for ii is one. and its completeness
IS something surprising. considering the
vast field which it attempts TO 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 biographical sketch OF appropriate
length The whole work IS arranged alpha
betically, so as TO be Of ready reference
value. and It is illustrated and illuminated
by thousands Of pictures in all the art Of
the best Illustrations. If one has a fine
collection OF books the Warner Library
will be IT'S GROWING glory and Il one has

stitute one"-EditoriaI, Omaha World
