The very wide field covered by the publication has required the best critical judgment in the choice of specimens, and that judgment is everywhere apparent.

"Mr. Stedman and Miss Hutchinson have done American literature, American history, and American patriotism a great and lasting service."—Century Magazine, January, 1891.
The Library of American Literature is a mammoth collection of the most brilliant and richest gems of our best writers, put together with exceeding skill. It is full of masterpieces, each having its own peculiar and distinctive charm and apparently more delightful than anything preceding. A gallery through which we shall never weary of wandering; a desirable set of books for all lovers of wholesome, pure American literature.
Rev. H. W. Bolton.
