1916. Illustrated. From the introduction: This little book is
intended to round out and complete the studies in literature
already issued in Comfort Found in Good Old Books and Modern
English Books of Power...In this third book I have selected
representative American authors who in my judgment best illustrate
the national genius...My aim in this book has been to arouse
interest in these great American writers who are so little known to
most readers and to indicate their best works. Some of the authors
featured in this entertaining volume include: Washington Irving,
Walt Whitman, Edgar Allan Poe, Emerson; Mark Twain; and others.
1912. Illustrated. In a series of literary essays of fine
distinction this well-known writer and critic pleads for the best
in literature-not because it is the best, but because of its charm
and comfort. These three books, Comfort Found in Good Old Books,

America, form an excellent survey of American, English and Classic
authors. Contents: The Vital Quality in Literature; Macaulay's
Essays in European History; Scott and His Waverly Novels; Carlyle
as an Inspirer of Youth; DeQuincey as a Master of Style; Charles
Lamb and the Essays of Elia; Dickens, the Foremost of Novelists;

Great Novels; George Eliot and Her Two Great Novels; Ruskin, the
