The World Beautiful

and best in his nature, as are the series of essays entitled "The
World Beautiful," by Lilian Whiting.--B. O. FLOWER, _in The Coming
Age_.

My conviction is that every preacher, reformer, religious editor, and Christian worker should read the books by Lilian Whiting.--REV. W. H. ROGERS, in _The Christian Standard_.
"After Her Death" has given me the light and help I have so long craved; it has given me comfort and strength which _no other_ book has ever done.--CORDELIA L. COMMORE.

_net_.
The careful and repeated reading of "The World Beautiful in Books" would be a liberal education.--_Philadelphia Telegraph_.
It is like a Greek urn filled with priceless relics. Hundreds of brains, ancient and modern, are daintily picked of their best thoughts, and there is scarcely a page that is not enriched with some rifled treasure. It is, in fact, concentrated food for select minds.--_Chicago Post_.
To read it is like being taken informally into a great assemblage of poets, romancers, and thinkers, while all are at their best, and being introduced to them by a near friend of all.--_The Era_, Philadelphia.

All the famous names associated with Boston pass in review before the reader of this apotheosis of the intellectual life of Massachusetts.--_The Boston Herald_.
The book is full of fascination of the intrinsic sort, by virtue of the material of which it is made up, and Miss Whiting has fulfilled her task with special literary grace and discretion.--_Albany Argus_.
A volume to place on the same shelf with the "Yesterdays With Authors" of the late James T. Fields and the "Literary Friends and Acquaintances" of William D. Howells.--_Cleveland Plain Dealer_.
* * * * *
