The demand for works of the highest merit was never solarge as it is toâ€"day. and the demand is not confined to any particular clas or local-‘ ity.‘ There are still far too many tri- vial publications bought and read. be-l cause they cost so little; but it is afact. also. that even such reading is calcu- lated to lead to something better. Thousands of people in this country who were once satisfied with dime nov- els are now regular readers of the m terpieces of fiction. and are tong; history and biography. When books of all kinds are cheap, the good ones grad- ually gain favor over the poor ones. just as things of superior quality obtain the preference in other relations where the opportunity of selection is presented. The time will never come perhaps. when there will be no market fortrashy publications; but certainly the demand for books of recognized ex- cellence is increasing every year. and It is» not true, as certain critics are fond of asserting, that. :be cheapening ___.._... wuu "u - - i wil i 'n‘ This wonderful cheapening of liter-; Ing to 596 an unribhteous - - {1 ment of innocent amusement ature is due in a large measure, 0 -, ' _ . . , c t I 0~ her.

The hnrm k The prevailing cheapness of literature is one of the most interesting and im- portant facts in the history of modern civilization. There has never before been a .time when abundant reading matter was placed within such easy reach of all classes. The average citi- zen is no longer deprived of the oppor- tunity of increasing his stock of infor- mation and gratifying his literary tastes by reason of his pecuniary limi-t tations. He can buy a wheelbarrowâ€"i load of leaks [at less (hm afex xolumes.i used to cost him.
