This selection of One hundred best books is made after a different method and with a different purpose from the selections already in existence.

The compiler holds the View that in expressing his own predilection, he is also supplying the need of kindred minds; minds that read purely for the pleasure of read ing, and have no sinister Wish to transform themselves by that process into what are called cultivated persons. The compiler feels that any one who succeeds in reading, with reasonable receptivity, the books in this list, must become, at the end, a person with whom it would be a delight to share that most classic of all pleasurable arts the art of intelligent conversation.
