The Home University Library
"Is without the slightest doubt the pioneer in supplying serious literature for a large section of the public who are interested in the liberal education of the State."—The Daily Mail.
"The fact is," says the Pall Mall Gazette, "that this remarkable library helps to realise one of those functions of a true University which English Universities have culpably neglected.... This Library makes a most effective and useful beginning in the popularisation of knowledge.... The scope of the series is as wisely outlined as its methods are effective and praiseworthy."
"The Home University Library places within the reach of every man, woman, or child with a shilling to spend fruitfully, the products of the best brains of to-day in all departments of modern knowledge."—Morning Leader.
"Each volume represents a three-hours' traffic with the talking-power of a good brain, operating with the ease and interesting freedom of a specialist dealing with his own subject.... A series which promises to perform a real social service."—The Times.
"We can think of no series now being issued which better deserves support."—The Observer.
"Certainly no publishing enterprise of our time is more remarkable or better deserving of success."—Manchester Guardian.
"Here is the world's learning in little, and none too poor to give it house-room!"—Daily Telegraph.
