With Photogravure Portrait of the Author.
THE CHOICE OF BOOKS, AND OTHER LITERARY PIECES.
"Mr. Harrison is an able and conscientious critic, a good logician, and a clever man; his faults are superficial, and his book will not fail to be valuable."--_N.Y. Times_.
Mr. JOHN MORLEY, in his speech on the study of literature at the Mansion House, 26th February, 1887, said:
"Those who are curious as to what they should read in the region of pure literature will do well to peruse my friend Frederic Harrison's volume called _The Choice of Books_. You will find there as much wise thought, eloquently and brilliantly put, as in any volume of its size."
"Mr. Harrison furnishes a valuable contribution to the subject. It is full of suggestiveness and shrewd analytical criticism. It contains the fruits of wide reading and rich research."--_London Times_.
