 Mrs. Mary A. Livermore says of Lil- ian Writings new book, "The World Beautiful in Books" published by Lit tle, Brown & Co.,:
 'The language, the phrasing, become to me as a spiral staircase by which I ascend to glorious mounts of vision.

I am reading the book as one at sunset walks through a garden of lilies and 'oses when the air is filtered through gold and perfume"
