Take five novels like Manzoni's The Betrothed Lovers, (llffromessi Sposi), Hans Andersen`: Im- provisatore. Reade s Cloister and -the Hearth. George Elliot's Romola, and Edith Whaton s Valley of Decision, and the reader can fairly test his interest in good litera- - ture.

Such a view would close it out the Bible and many classical treasuresl from all modern readers. Morley recom-g mends translations like Jowett s Plato,] Lang. Myers and Leaf s Homer.

Any list of the hundred best booksq lwilldo. There are so many of these lists; ,and they vary so much that they include: ' nearly a thousand volumes. Several cheapi series of books are published which contain! ,most or all of them. Morley allows half i an hour for reading out of a solid busyl day. `In that time one can read ten. fifteen i "or perhaps twenty pages and it is possiblel ' to 0 through an astonishing amount of lit-_. ; era me at this rate in a year. Owning a Library ` To `read properly one should have one's; own books. Many gobd libraries are built; -0 up from second-hand purchases. But really' good books can -be had in fairly cheap edi-i tiomu. Mark Pattiswn said that nobodyl i who respected himself would have less thanl 1.000 volumes. They can be had for 8500: l or less, a sum that would _be far exceeded? {in twenty years by the average person in: `buying candy or cigars." At the end of I twenty years one has the books in a double sense. in the mind and in lhe bookcase; and it should take at least twentyyears to l accumulate 1.000 volumes. "The wise stu- dent. says Morley, will do most of his reading with a pen or pencil in his hand. [He will not shrink fromthe useful toil of making abstracts and summaries of what he isreading. Sir William Hamilton was al 9"?-Ann lII"I7l\lI"n `nu IIr|a-`nIinnt\II:r\:- L\t\l\`rn n\`| in xcuuung. on W uuuul nuuuu.-uu was ll` s"2'ong advocate for underscoring books of I study." Nearly every thinking reader will` mark his books--'-his own books. that is. for it is a crime to mark another s -book or al public library book. A man may estimate] 2 the degree of baseness of his own character`; `by the readiness with which he yields to !the temptation to mark a public library ibook. Morley also recommends copying` ; out passages that interest one. If one owns {the book, this is not necessary. A better` custom is to memorize a few golden lines `every day. The memory in this way is l strengthened to a phenomenal degree. while l the mind is stored with ineetima-ble riches. Prose as well as poetry should be munch` I ized. Morley is not an -admirer of the best lhundred books. Most of them are never lread. What would be a truly enlightening llist would -be one of the books that great men read repeatedly, or at least more than once after.an interval, a list, in short of the books to which they return.
