"The Literary Achievement of the Century."
O WORK of modern times presents such an extraordinary variety of interesting reading, information and instruc- tion. There is none so comprehensive and authoritative, none which combines so delightfully pleasure and profit, entertain- ment and education, as Charles Dudley Warner's new library. Nothing like it, nothing approaching it, has ever before appeared. Alike in its design, scope and execution, it stands alone. It is the one existing work, which in the full sense of the word justifies its name,
"Library of the World's Best Literature."
The Boston Globe Says:
"It is one of those works which commands the res- pect and admiration of the whole world; one that aids in making this Nineteenth Century more glorious than any other."
Public Opinion Says:
"It is a strong word to say, but we rise from a crit- ical examination of the first six published volumes of Charles Dudley Warner's new Library of the World's Best Literature, with the conviction that this must take rank as the greatest purely literary enterprise of the century. We say this advisedly, because the · library is not an encyclopedia merely, or a dictionary, - but belongs distinctly to the field of letters."
FOR the busy man and woman, whose time and means are limited, and who cannot afford a large investment in books, it is of priceless worth; it takes the place of whole libraries of scattered volumes, and puts the reader in imme- diate possession of the best that has ever been written in all the ages since the making of books began. The first edition of the library is now offered at a special introductory price and on quite easy monthly payments. The opportunity is an exceptional one to acquire thoroughly good books at a reason- able price, and on receipt of a request to do so, the volumes will be cheerfully submitted for examination and approval, without expense.
