By Clement Shorter. HE fact is that there 1s no possibility of naming the hundred hess books. The naming of them for any large general audtence is quite Impossibls. All that {s possible In such a connection ts tot state emphatically that there are very few books that are equally suitable to every kind of Intellect,” says Clement Shorter, in his | book of “Immortal Memories." ‘Temperament as well as intellectual endows ment makes for so much in reading. Take, for example, the ‘Imitation of Chast.’ George Eliot, although not a Christian, found It soul-satistying. Thack- eray, os I think a more robust Intellect, found it wellnigh as mischievous did Eugene Sue, Thera are great books that can be read only by the few, but | surely the very greatest appeal alike to the man of rich Intellectual endowment and to thé man to whom all processes of reasoning are incomprehensible.” es Bits of Information.
