The Home University Library 



" Is without the slightest doubt the pioneer in supplying serious literature 

 for a large section of the public who are interested in the liberal educa- 

 tion of the State." The Daily Mail. 



"It is a thing very favourable to the real success of The Home 

 University Library that its volumes do not merely attempt to feed 

 ignorance with knowledge. The authors noticeably realise that the 

 simple willing appetite of sharp-set ignorance is not specially common 

 nowadays ; what is far more common is a hunger which has been 

 partially but injudiciously filled, with more or less serious results of 

 indigestion. The food supplied is therefore frequently medicinal as 

 well as nutritious; and this is certainly what the time requires." 

 Manchester Guardian. 



" Each volume represents a three-hours' traffic with the talking-power 

 of a good brain, operating with the ease and interesting freedom of a 

 specialist dealing with his own subject. ... A series which promises to 

 perform a reai social service." The Times. 



"We can think of no series now being issued which better deserves 

 support." The Observer. 



"We think if they were given as prizes in place of the more costly 

 rubbish that is wont to be dispensed on prize days, the pupils would 

 find more pleasure and profit. If the publishers want a motto for the 

 series they might well take : ' Infinite riches in a little roji,i.'" Irish 

 Journal of Education. 



"The scheme was successful at the start because it met a want 

 among earnest readers; but its wider and sustained success, surely, 

 comes from the fact that it has to a large extent created and certainly 

 refined the taste by which it is appreciated." Daily Chronicle. 



" Here is the world's learning in little, and none too poor to give it 

 house-room ! " Daily Telegraph.
