Don't ever buy the complete works
of any author, unless you are willing
to pay for some trash which you will
never read, Or which, if you did read,
you'd begrudge it the time and the
money.
Select the real masterpieces, in
the best edition you can afford: in
this way, your library will be choice,
and source of unending profit and

Washington Irving's Bracebridge
Hall, and Sketchbook are classics,
and every booklover should possess
them; his Mahomet, Washington and

Charles Dickens is not especially
interesting in Hard Times, American
Notes, and parts Of Martin Chuzzle-
w.t. but his David Copperfield, Tale
of Two Cities, Pickwick, Old Curiosi-
ty Shop, Nicholas Nickleby Black
House, and Our Mutual Friend are
immortal.
Little Dorritt, Great Expectations,
and Barnaby Ridge have wonderfully
fine chapters, and exquisitely drawn
characters, but are sadly marred by
morbid imagination. as to some
scenes and persons.
Excepting Pickwick Papers and
The Tale of Two Cities, I cannot re-
call one Of Dickens marvellous books
that does not somewhere show the

To use slang expression, he piled

his pathos, but particularly the lat

Thackeray never errs in that di-
rection. His Vanity Fair, Newcomes,
PendenniS, Desmond, the Virginians,
and Philip are mastery, although he
miscOnceived the character of George
Washington in The Tirginians. and
failed to accurately describe colonial
life in the United States.
The morals of all these works are
pure, and they contain so much in
formation upon customs, manners,
historical events, and celebrated peo-
pie that they will immensely benefit
whoever carefully reads them
No one can love Dickens, without
being made better man by it; and
perhaps this is the noblest tribute
that can be paid to the memory of
that golden-hearted, rich-minded ge-
MUS.
1t is only the narrowest prejudice
which frOwns upon the first-class
novel. They are full of instruction,
lofty sentiment, and practical teach
ing of the highest ideals. The Bible
itself doesn't make for truer NOR
ality than the novels of Charles
Dickens.
The same is true of Charles Reade;
also of Scott. Thackeray was a ge-
NAL cynic who painted life as it is,
and not as it ought to be.
He brings his rascals and rasca-
lesses out on top, in most life-like,
but morally disconcerting fashion.
In Dickens, the bad man always
comes to the orthodox bad end: in
Thackeray, he doesn't.
