, too, the books have been
constantly improved.

Many distinguished American and foreign authors have said that the
Modern Library is one of the most stimulating factors in American
intellectual life. Practically everybody who knows anything about good
books owns a number of copies and generally promises himself to own
them all.... One of the largest book stores in the country reports
that more copies of the Modern Library are purchased for gifts than
any other books now being issued.

The sweep of world events has, of course, been a contributing
influence to our success. Purposeful reading is taking the place of
miscellaneous dabbling in literature, and the Modern Library is being
daily recommended by notable educators as a representative library of
modern thought. Many of our titles are being placed on college lists
for supplementary reading and they are being continuously purchased by
the American Library Association for Government camps and schools. The
list of titles on the following six pages (together with the list of
introductions written especially for the Modern Library), indicates
that our use of the term "Modern" does not necessarily mean written
within the last few years. Voltaire is certainly a modern of moderns,
as are Samuel Butler, Francois Villon, Theophile Gautier and
Dostoyevsky.

Many of the books in the Modern Library are not reprints, but are new
books which cannot be found in any other edition. None of them can be
had in any such convenient and attractive form. It would be difficult
to find any other editions of any of these books at double the price.
They can be purchased wherever books are sold or you can get them from
the publishers.
