"The highly ingenious, attractive, and suggestive series of 

 shilling books which now makes its bow to the public under the 

 Home University Library's ensign is the symbol, in some respects 

 of a revival, in others of a new era, in bibliology. In either case 

 it is a symptom both of health and of hope in the future. . . . 

 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 real social service." The Times. 



" With the growth of popular education of all grades, it was 

 natural to believe that there are a very large number of men and 

 women of all ages, to whom such a series as this would be a price- 

 less boon and comfort. . . . The immediate discovery of a large, 

 highly intelligent public, with ideas and criticisms of its own, is an 

 invaluable reward to the public spirit that has inspired this under- 

 taking, and a sign of great encouragement to all who are in- 

 terested in the liberal education of the State." The Nation. 



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

 deserves support." The Observer. 



"Certainly no publishing enterprise of our time is more 

 remarkable or better deserving of success." Manchester 

 Guardian. 



"These dainty, vivid little books lend a new attraction to 

 the acquisition of useful knowledge. Bright, spirited, and 

 infallibly direct in their appeal, they should prove a treasure- 

 house of inexhaustible value to those who are unable to afford 

 expensive encyclopaedias and weighty scientific treatises. For 

 here is the world's learning in little, and none too poor to give 

 it house-room ! ''Daily Telegraph.
