This selection of "One hundred best books" is made after a different method and with a different purpose from the selections already in existence. Those apparently are designed to stuff the minds of young persons with an accumulation of "standard learning" calculated to alarm and discourage the boldest.

The compiler feels that anyone who succeeds in reading, with reasonable receptivity, the books in this list, must become, in the end, a person with whom it would be a delight to share that most classic of all pleasurable arts—the art of intelligent conversation.
