Andrew Carnegie's Literary Taste


OF this benefactor. II is from personal ex-
perience that l feel that there is no human
arrangement so powerful Cor good, there
is no benefit that can be bestowed upon
community SO great as that which places
within the reach of all the treasures of
the world which are stored NJ in books"
When it is considered how frequently
men who have only small affairs TO manage
complain that they have no time to read.
it might be imagined that with such enor-
nous enterprises under his care, Mr. Car
negie would not have been able TO look
at book; yet the advice which he has
given TO workingmen is evidently what he
has followed himself: The severe study
OF scientific books must not be permitted
TO exclude the equally important duty of
reading the masters in literature; and by all
means OF fiction. The feeling which pre-
walls in some quarters against fiction is.
IN my opinion, only a prejudice. l know
That some, indeed most, OF the most emil
ncnt men find in a good work of>fiction one
OF the best means of enjoyment and of rest

pecially in mind. nothing is so beneficial

disparagement of free Libraries that most OF
the works read are works OF fiction on the
contrary. 10 Is doubtful IL any other form
of literature would so well serve the i'm
pOrtant end OF lifting Woodworking men ont
of the prOsaic and routine duties of life

ems, Hawthorne and others OF the same
class are not 10 be rated below any other
form OF literature for workingmen.

whom millions are as commonplace as dol

seems stranger still that he should give
supl counsel 10 mechanics and ordfr.a -.

man who Is the busy man. Probably no

Judge Parker's tendency, as above noted
IS not only to hold private htgants strict
ly to the letter of their contracts, but is
to refrain from relying on general prin-
ciples of policy to nullify legislative en-
actments. That this tendency in both
cases illustrates the true path of a Judge

have seen plenty of vicious legislation

all, the remedy for this sort of thing
