About this book
Ranking books in numbered tables is the method of Frank Parsons in this guide to reading, here in its third edition, revised and enlarged, dated Boston, January 1893. He credits his colleagues F. E. Crawford and H. T. Richardson with criticism, checking and help with the appendix.
The rankings weigh not only a book's greatness but what an ordinary English reader has time and ability to take in, which is why "Our Country" sits above the "Federalist" and Bryce's "American Commonwealth". Remarks after Table V show how a student can judge a book for himself, and the preface asks readers not to treat any ranking as final.
