"The Library of Famous Literature."

De Quincey occa entered upon a calcula tion of the number of books a studious man might ex|ioob to read in a lifetime, if ha iia>?a up to literature the days which most men are ooßip3lled to devote to sternpr labour*. The figarea were disappointingly meagre ; and although it la trua that fcho English Opium Eator omiltecl to miike propw »Uow*noe for the great (.Lin^s whioh can ba aeaompliahad by th<s judicious •xeroiso of the art of skipping, tho facb remains that nob even the most assiduous or fche moat leisured can hope to make Bcqiwiatanoo with one tenth oftheb^oka they desire to re«&d. The books which ono 'cughfe to road' may, perhaps, bo left oub j>f accouEti liooe the mi<m;)]ftnecai3 ivamieror into tho broad field of Iherature is under an auoh obligation to atqaaiat hims'H with »ll the nsasterplLoea ci letter-; R() is iuoumv bent upon the pmfeßaional cri'ic: Great books are oft n little read,, The scanty Seisoro of the »ver»Re men of cultivated feaatea is absorbed. b? tha, efldeavo«r bo «k»ep abreast'of eontemporaiy additiona to the book shelves, by the re-reading of a few old favourite, or by tho pursuit of iom« »»•-lal lino of literary inquiry. More over, tho masterpiece is not always re-dily ■jooeßniblet And, iodecd, the tired man, who oomtß home at night with perhaps only an hour to «pet»d with a book, may be for given fornoD attempting |o otiak,e.;».oolleo- i liioa even of tha immortals of his own tonguap Hd finis that) the eeriona pursuit of literitiire is diMoolc, if not iasppß»ib!e D to him| What he needs, indeed, is rather Anthology, than a library proper, the opportunity to pick and choose, to pureae where fanoy suggests or personal interest dfStalw.' But aa Anthology which ©hall Inks a wide view of literature, which shall embrace the old and the sißw, which shall reproduce the universal language of genius in at! ageij, aader all condition?, and under all forma of aohievemento has never before been attempted. Such an attempb has now been made, &ud ao annoußoemenb we pub' liah this cve 1 lne bears witness to its | xfcent

Mod thoroHirhncsu •The Internatioaal Library of FanoH' Literature' !• an endeavour to prea* oh, in a compact form, the cream of all literature. It Is » ffreab undertaking, and its sucooss in Eoglanfltas been the evmb of the past puMihing aoasou. The general Editor of tb© • Library' is Dr Riohard Garnett, CB, who, to ad euoyc!of aiio knowledge of books acquired in hia long aervios in the Be*.ding Room of the BrMah Museum, adda a critical ■kill and an enthueiam for letters which have already made many charming contri butioGß to contemporary iit«ratnre. No matt ooald bs hotter equipped for a task so ci«l'- Bate And co difficult! He has been assisted In hist labours by M Leon Vftl'ee, the erudite LibrtiHan of 0 the Bibliotheque Nationaio, who fa&s uot only bronghb the fruit or his

tpeol&iised experience, bub has also eohched j the- Library by the contribution of an admirable study of Erenoh Uteratnre. Pro fesaor Brandl, who occnpieß tha Ohair of Literature in the Imperial University of Berlin, hns also been associated with Dr Garnstt in the preparation of the Library, and-has written, for the fourth volume o! ths work, a study of ■ The Main Currents of German Literature.' Mr Donald G Mitchell, who is, perhapa, better knowa under his familiar pseudonym of 'Ik Marvel, 9 la reeponsible for those sections of the work which deal with that American literature which, in n good deal lees than a working eentary, h*B added so extensively to our, bonk th<9tT'-ri

The pkii of tho work 1b simplicity itself. The twenty volnmes of • The Library of Famous Literature ' contain th« beeb parts of each author's work, nob a ragged extract, bat a carefully chosen complete picture Id that aathqr's typical style—enough for half an hour's reading, enough to give the reader Ihe desired sense of an Intelleo'unl change of air. More th&o a thousand of thees ixatfiplro »ro offered in a handsome and convenient form. Nor is the result a mere compromise* The beet thing an author ever wrote ie, for the putpnee of occasional rend- Jug, bettterthan the whole body of his work, sinca ie ertftb'es the raader to get at the cesecce of his creation, without losing timo over the utraw Bnd e^v S which form ft part of even the most precious literary growths. The * Library ' in short, ©ndeavonrs to do the reader's ' fkpping' for him, perhaps to do Jt more judiciously than he cnuid himself, and, !n eny oase. to do jb intelligently end with insight. Of bo voluminous and so many tided a work ib ia obviously impossible to five a detai'ed account, latan examination cf the volumes shows that Dr GwneU and ha aesooiites hate exhibited very considerable eigenaity In the selection and arrangement of their material. Tha index to the twenty volumes shows that more tkan three hundred • *it the fomoas poems, end more than four honored of the benfcetories, are included ia fcbfs Antholntrv. which also oonf-.ainH ihp hfrnf.
