For I 896 - 97. The title indicates the scope and purpose of the work. Of heavy read ing the reader of to-day no doubt has a sufficiency. Of light reading, that straw and-chafl' literature that fills the air until the senses are confused with the whirlwind and dust of it, he has a suficiency also. Of that intermediate kind of reading which is. Neither so heavy with erudition as to weigh us down nor so light with the flying folly of prejudice as to make us distracted with its dust, there is perhaps too little. The thoughtful and improving passage for the unoccupied half hour of him who hurries through these closing years of the century does not abound, but is rather wanting in the intellectual provision of the age.
