Library wa 3 begun , under the editorship of the
Rev . H / R . Haweis , M . A ., whose experience ivill assuredly direct the venture towards
extensive popularity . Anster ' s translation of Goethe ' s * Faust * is the first volume of the
series , the second being Joseph Allen's admirable * Life of Nelson . ' To the latter an
introduction is supplied by the editor , and we are glad to observe that he has appended
bibliographical hints for the behoof of the reader , should further inquiry be intended . Messrs .
Routledg © do not , intend to issue a programme of forthcoming volumes , but judging from their
previous efforts on behalf of readers , the products of their press may be anticipated with
confidence . That the editorship is in good hands , there is not the slightest doubt . His
own idea of his mission is here stated : * The books about to be offered to the million are the
best—those " without which no gentleman's library is complete . Walter Crane designs
the cover—for the best art is worthy to adorn the best literature . "Do the people care for
either ] " You may as well ask , * ' Do the people care for turtle soup ? " The answer is ,
. * " Of «^ course they do when ^ p » they can get it . " There is no greater mistake than to try to
write and publish down to the people . Give the son peop sa le < something ( rSfe needs to mus work t love up to the . Tenny hihest - ys , g
when we see it . " Place the highest within everyone ' s reach , and then there will be
something for everyone to work up to . ' In addition to the foregoing series we
may expect on March 10 the first instalment of Messrs . Ward , Lock , & Co . ' s New
Popular Library , which will be of the same character and price as the other
libraries . The literary treasures of this collection are to be edited by Mr . G . T .
Bettany , M . A ., whose work , ' Eminent Doctors , ' gives so many excellent examples of
biographical research and writing . A special feature of the volumes will appear in
introductions and sketches of the authors of the books brought out , and with this object the
aid of a number — ~ w of gentlemen eminent ^ r in their respective departments will be secured .
The earliest volumes of the new library will comprise : —Longfellow's * Voices of the Night '
and * Tales of a Wayside Inn '; Macaulay ' s * Lord Clive / Warren Hastings , ' and other
Essays ; Emerson ' ' s i Representative Men ' and ' English Traits '; De Quincey ' s *
Confessions of an Opium Eater ' and ' Letters to a Young Man whose Education has
been Neglected' ; Locke's ' Thoughts on Education , ' introduction by Processor Blackie ;
Plutarch ' s ' Lives of Alexander the Great ,
Julius Csosar , and Pompey \ ; Goethe ' s

<> Faust , ' Part 1 ; * Sindbad , ' « Aladdin , * ^ and other stories from the 'Arabian Nights ';
Essays by Lord Bacon ; Scott ' s 'Lady of the Lake '; Essays by Montaigne . To issue
good literature at a remarkably cheap price has been for some years the special . aim of
Messrs . Ward , Lock , < fc Co . We know of no better collection of this description than their
shilling library of ' Famous Books for all Time . ' The fact that sensible writings are by
no means lost amidst the niasses seems to be pr 6 ved by the same firm's marvellous series of
' Penny Books for the People , ' which , taking the 300 separate books , have had a sale of
5 , 000 , 000 copies . This is encouraging when we remember that the booklets are not silly
novels , but good , sound works of instruction
and honest entertainment . - p » - «*^ - —
