The Hundred Best Books.

"The fact is that there is no posi-
bility Of naming the hundred best
books. The naming of them for any
large general audience is quite impos-
sible. All that Is possible In such a
connection is to state emphatically
that there are very few books that are
equally suitable to every kind of in
tellect," says Clement Shorter In his
book Of Immortal Memories" TEN
permanent as we'll as intellectual en-
dowment makes for so much in read
ing. Take, for example, the Imitation
of Christ George Eliot, although not
Christian, found 1t soul satisfying
Thackeray. as think more robust in
tellect, found 1t well nigh as mischiev-
GUS as did Eugene Sue. There are
great books that can be read only by
the few, but surely the very greatest
appeal alike to the man of rich intel
lectual endowment and to the man to
whom all processes of reasoning are
comprehensive"
