About this book
The World's Best Books carries the subtitle A Key to the Treasures of Literature, and the preface reports a few additions and careful revision throughout the edition. The preface assigns the plan and composition to the writer and describes colleagues' contributions as criticism, verification, and assistance in gathering materials for the appendix.
The discussion argues that written works of genius help accomplishments by recording methods of acquiring an art and supplying material for eloquent conversation and clear, beautiful English writing. The discussion presents reading a worthy book as a pleasure that fills rather than drains the source of other people's happiness. The advice on reading calls for careful thought about the quantity and quality of what is read.
