me the names of the hundred or five hundred best books of all

There are many such books1, but before naming even one
of them, a few observations andguotations,ought to be made.
; t it is foolish to suppose! that a hundred books can be
named as those which-are best for each and every one
' ' For the simplest experience of the world proves that a
work 6f great excellence may deeply move one personV while it

c 1 ,r Georg Brandes, one of the World's greatest living critics
he is a Dane observes that:!
.''Most ; people read without jany particular attentiveness ;
" perhaps, ; too, they select reading matter . which does not
deserve any particular attention,

read. , "V I I. . . ,

They are like young peoples reading in foreign languages
who neglect to refer to the dictionary for words Jhey do not
understand; they infer themi from the sense, -so they-say,
that Is, they understand half aid are content with that."
Thex fact is that the knowledge that can be acquired
though reading usually is over estimated. It is a poor sub
stitute for direct knowledge of the world and life. ,
- 'J As a rule books are only to be considered as presenting a
theory ' Brandes 'points outi "As a doctor must" study his
case and cannot obtain his 'knowledge by reading, thus we.
" cannot learn anything from bdoks unless we. learn also from

HORACE GREELEY'S CHALLENGE
r Horace Greeley used to challenge free traders to name a
single industry in the Unitejl States enjoying protection for
a number of years, where products were not selling at lower
prices than similar products coiild. have' been purchased be
fpre the American manufactured product,: was brought under
the wing of a protective policjf. It is not on record that
Greeley '8 challenge was successfully disputed.
r" Irf Greeley's day it appears-to have been admitted that
protection was a method of stimulating home industry; but
the free traders declared it was a hot house method. In
. answer to this, Greeley pointed Tto Ireland, a country which
'for the want of. industrial development was then sending. a
great jproportidn of itsjsoijs aijd daughters to the United
States, a much 'greater proportion than today when the
Parish Free State, master of its own fiscal policies, is adopting
virious features of the protective policy. ; ' :
