The aim and scope of this work is to condense into one volume the precious life-blood of the master spirits of the literary worls. It desires to introduce all lovers of good literature into that charmed circle of great authors, and asks them to sit down with Homer and Milton and Pope and Addison and Lamb, and drink at the overflowing fountain of their genius; to become guests at the table around which sit Shakespeare and Dante and Johnson and Goethe and Cervantes, and partake of a feast far richer than any ever spread by the dainty Lucullus; to learn of the genius and all-embracing humanity of Wordsworth , of the magic of Byron and Coleridge , of the ever murmering music of Burns and Moore, of the enchanting verse of Tennyson and Longfellow; to wander by the babbling brooks and amid he fragrant flowers of the great gardens of men , and to pluck therefrom the sweet and
rare exotics that have exilerated and intoxicated the human race of the past, and will continue to do so for ages to come. Profusely Illustrated with STEEL PLATES and WOOD ENGRAVINGS Extra postage needed 4lb. (part of the Preface).

I cannot begin to explain the contents of this book. It is a pleasure to read. Beautiful and Inspirational, funny and entertaining.
