Excerpt from A Guide to the Best Fiction in English Where American novels have been published in England with an altered title, or English novels with an American title, the spurious desig nation is quoted in the note.' The original titles Of foreign works of fiction are given in italics after the English title, In most cases where they are not practically identical, with the exception of Russian and other languages in which the transliteration of titles is not uniform and the information would be of trifling value to the ordinary reader. It is hoped that in this and other points a fair degree of accuracy has been attained, but the possibilities of error in such a compilation as the present are innumerable, and the writer can only trust that his faults Of omission and commission are not serious, and that attention will be called thereto in order that they may be reduced in a future edition. It should be noted that books published since 3ist December, 191 I, do not come within his present purview.

Excerpt from A Guide to the Best Fiction, English and American: Including Translations From Foreign Languages The object has been to supply as complete a list as might be of the most notable prose fiction in English, with as much characterization of the contents, nature, and style of each book as would go into a few lines of print. Manifestly, such a list must include along with the very best many novels that cannot be described as even among the second-best. It is a guide, not an autocratic proclamation that such and such are the world's best novels, and that all the rest are inferior. A proclamation of that sort would instantly meet with the same fate as sooner or later has befallen certain too authoritative pronouncements, whose authors have singled out what they considered the best books without reflecting that best is a relative term, relative, that is to say, not only to the other things with which there is a comparison, but also to the purposes of the books and the needs of readers. Best really means most suitable for some individual or for promoting some particular purpose. It is hoped in the present case that those using the Guide will be enabled to see for themselves what novels are recognized by most intelligent people as the best, and how and why they are the best, and also what others come nearest to them in interest and artistic merit.

Excerpt from English Literature: An Introduction and Guide to the Best English Books; A Handbook for Schools and Readers All my life I have loved, owned, collected and read books. The motive back of these activities has not, however, been any desire on my part to improve my mind. Being satisfied with my mind as it is, I have read in the spirit in which boys play ball, girls dress their dolls, men attend prize fights, and women gossip about their neigh bors. I have read, in other words, for fun; and I have found in the collection, the ownership, and the perusal of books a source of pleasure which, unlike most pleasures, is not only inexpensive and harmless but has grown deeper with time.

Excerpt from Modern English Literature: A Selection of the Best Known Works Circulated, With Which Is Embodied a Guide to Popular Works of Fiction Since the issue of the last general catalogue in October, 1902, this business has undergone a great development. The membership has increased to an enormous extent, a result brought about in great measure by the recommendation of members to their friends. For this emphatic approval of our endeavours we tender our best thanks to the public, and intend in the future, as in the past, still to merit its confidence. When the scheme, formulated by the management, has been realised in its entirety the Library will be the largest and most popular in the kingdom. The frontispiece shows one of the new London depots, and is typical of the way in which a number of the new branches are fitted. All true book-lovers find great pleasure in handling clean books, and this pleasure is intensified if the volumes are housed in quiet and comfortably furnished rooms, such as the one depicted. The system of exchanging books, too, that is in use at this Library, works extremely well, saving the members much annoyance, and the assistants a great deal of time and unnecessary labour.

Excerpt from A Descriptive Guide to the Best Fiction: British and American; Including Translations From Foreign Languages Containing About 4, 500 References; With Copious Indexes and a Historical Appendix The object of this book is to supply a fairly complete list of the best prose fiction in English, including, not all that interests students, but all that the ordinary reader is likely to care about, with as much description of matter and style, for the guidance of readers, as can be condensed into a few lines of print for each book. It does not claim to be a bibliography. This would have involved reference to the actual title-pages of first editions; such bibliographical accuracy is not necessary in a mere guide for readers. Long titles are usually abbreviated; sub-titles, when they are descriptive, often appear in the note. The entries are arranged first in main divisions according to nationalities of writers, and then in the chronological order of publication, so far as consists with easy reference. Consequently this should be a useful work of reference for students of literary history. It may be thought that the recent periods are numerically over-represented as compared with the earlier, even if we have regard to the immensity of the modern "output" of fiction. No doubt this is so, if we pay strict attention to literary merit; but every age is naturally most interested in contemporary writers. In a future edition, doubtless, a large proportion of these recent authors will drop out, and their places will be occupied by others quite as ephemeral. In the notes, the aim has been to subordinate criticism to description. The annotator has not sought to appraise the literary value of the books dealt with. Yet, in order to convey as dear an impression as he was able of the particular species, character and style of each Novel, he has not refrained, where he has thought it needful, from offering what may be considered as critical observations on books and authors.

Excerpt from A Guide to the Best Historical Novels and Tales Four years ago (vide Dr. Baker's kindly allusion in the Preface to his admirable work just named), it was hinted that the Guide was somewhat lacking in its degree of com prehensiveness such a criticism could scarcely be maintained now. If there is still exclusion to some extent, there is (fourth edition) inclusion to a very much larger extent. I have allowed the utmost elasticity in my later decisions as to his torical qualification. How comprehensive has been my selection, may be judged from the fact that, while in my enlarged third edition the annotated lists covered between twelve and thirteen hundred novels and tales, I have now passed under review about seventeen hundred more. In the total of nearly three thousand novels and tales thus reached, over two thousand are not to be found in Mr. Bowen's catalogue, and some thirteen hundred are absent from Dr. Baker's lists. Comprehensiveness alone, however, would be a poor advantage, and I believe that, in its present form, besides being the largest bibliography of its kind, the Guide is also the most accurate. And this brings me to say a few words about certain special aims that I have striven my utmost to embody in the large supplementary portion of this edition. More and more, I have come to see that, in a reference book of the kind making its appeal to readers of all ages and of varying tastes - there should be large catholicity. And nowhere is such inclusiveness more desirable than in the case of juvenile stories: the shortest and simplest tale, if it in any way illustrates a bygone period, may prove of use and of interest.

Excerpt from Catalogue of English Prose Fiction The Free Public Library of Newark, New Jersey, has compiled a list of one hundred of.the best novels. The list, it is said, does not claim to include the one hundred best novels. About sixty of the books are acknowledged classics; the remaining forty include some of the more noteworthy of the recent novels others were added to give variety, and to insure that no one consulting the list would fail to find the titles of at least a few books that he had read and enjoyed. In the same spirit the Aurora Public Library presents the list to its readers as a guide in the selection of what is worth reading in fiction. We miss from the list the names of Fielding and Richardson, fathers of the English novel; of Sienkiewicz, the brilliant Polish novelist; of Cervantes, the Spaniard, whose Don Quixote is among the world-famous books; of Freytag and Auerbach, who have given us such convincing pictures of German life and manners; of Mrs. Stowe, whose Uncle Tom's Cabin was an epoch-making book. But we take the list as we find it, assured that it contains nothing unworthy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Readers Guide to Great Twentieth-Century English Novels In varying ways, Conrad's emphasis on the individual artist's con scious mind as guide to his artistic conceptions - an anti-traditionalist position and a throwback to the philosophy of the 1890's, the time of Conrad's apprenticeship - found its counterpart in the statements of Huxley, Virginia Woolf, and Joyce. Conrad was following, in his way, Flaubert's attempt to make the novel a major artistic form, not merely a type of entertainment. Concern with form, a major French preoccu pation, did not significantly begin in England, we remember, until George Eliot, Meredith, and Conrad turned to the novel, and only the latter practiced what he theorized. After Conrad, we find several state ments of novelistic theory incorporated into the novel itself: as exam ples, Stephen's sermon on art in A Portrait, the remarks in Philip Quarles'journal in Point Counter Point, and, indirectly, the tense discussions between Loerke, the devilish creator, and Ursula and Gud run Brangwen near the end of Women in Love.

Excerpt from What and How to Read: A Guide to Recent English Literature, Containing a Minutely Classified List of the Best Books Published in England and America During the Past Five Years, With Critical Remarks and Suggestions, and an Introduction It is impossible to say any thing absolutely new on the use of books for self-culture. Even the epistolary treatises on the advantages of literature, written by Egyptian scribes two or three thousand years before the compilation of the First Book of Moses, contain, in general terms, the best that can be said now. However, there is always somebody still in his A B C's on some subject or other, and there will be some one also to whom a few words on What and How to Read are welcome advice. We have, fortunately, arrived at an age when book-making and reading is an absolute necessity. Every little addition to the sum of human knowledge is scattered broadcast, and every branch of science is made the subject of multifarious expositions, adapted for every variety of intellect. To show a supercilious disrespect for the daily increasing multitude of books is not to affect superior wisdom, but to display some degree of ignorance. The times are past when it sufficed to sit for a while at the feet of a wise man in order to hear all that was known.
