APPLETONS' LIBRARY LISTS. 



Libraries, whether for the school, home, or the public at large, are 

 among the most important and wide-reaching educational factors in the 

 advancement of civilization. Modern intellectual activity, keeping pace 

 with modern invention, has added to the earlier stores oi literature myriads 

 of books, and a still greater mass of reading matter in other tonns. Unfor- 

 tunately, much of the material put into print is not of an educational or 

 elevating character. It is important, then, in the selection of books for 

 public use, especially for the young, that great care be exercised to secure 

 only such kinds of reading as will be wholesome, instructive, and intrinsic- 

 ally valuable. 



For more than fifty years Messrs. D. APPLETON & Co. have been en- 

 gaged in the publication of the choicest productions from the pens of dis- 

 tinguished authors of the past and present, of both Europe and America, 

 and their catalogue of books now comprises several thousand volumes, em- 

 bracing every department of knowledge. Classified lists of these publica- 

 tions have been prepared, affording facilities for a judicious selection of
