This anthology is the least expensve work of its class. and differs from its predecessors in aiming less at quantity than at quality. The Editor's plan has been to give copious extracts from the writers of admitted eminence, rather than briefer selections from a host of the lesser lights of literature. The author doesn't always know what are his best selections, but the Editor is inclined to think that whose who have named the selections by which they prefer to be represented here have chosen wisely and the Editor gives sincere thanks.
