In their present venture, the publishers congratulate themselves that the matter offered has been endorsed by the approval of the entire reading world for many generations. The remarkable success attending their Library of Poetry and Song, put forth under the auspices of that greatest American poet, William Cullen Bryant, naturally suggested the idea of a corresponding Library of Famous Fiction, to be guaranteed and set before the public by the most popular American writer of fiction known to this day,—Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. Thus have been combined the nine great masterpieces of imaginative prose, embodying in a single convenient volume those Famous Fictions which have been admired and loved always, everywhere, and by all classes.
Their number is not large; their names rise spontaneously, and by common consent, in every mind: Pilgrim’s Progress; Robinson Crusoe; The Vicar of Wakefield; Gulliver’s Travels (revised); Paul and Virginia; Picciola; Elizabeth, or the Exiles of Siberia; Undine; Vathek; and a Selection of Tales from the Arabian Nights’ Entertainments. As Mrs. Stowe says in her Introduction, “not a single one could be spared from this group, in gathering those volumes of fiction which the world, without dissent, has made classic.”
