The Macmillan Standard Library
Each volume, Cloth, 12mo, 50 cents
This series has taken its place as one of the most important popular-priced editions. The "Library" includes only those books which have been put to the test of public opinion and have not been found wanting, books, in other words, which have come to be regarded as standards in the fields of knowledge literature, religion, biography, history, politics, art, economics, sports, sociology, and belles lettres. Together they make the most complete and authoritative works on the several subjects.
Notable Additions to the Macmillan Standard Library
THE COUNTRY LIFE MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES
"... clearly thought out, admirably written, and always stimulating in its generalization and in the perspectives it opens."—Philadelphia Press.
"Concise and straightforward to the point of bareness in its presentation of facts, arguments, and plans, its every sentence is packed so full of what the author thinks, knows, and hopes of the condition, prospects, and possibilities of rural life, that the volume comes as near to being solid meat as any book can come."—New York Times.
HOW TO HELP: A MANUAL OF PRACTICAL CHARITY
" It is an exceedingly comprehensive work, and its chapters on the homeless man and woman, its care of needy families, and the discussion of the problems of child labor will prove of value to the philanthropic worker."
HOW TO GROW VEGETABLES
"It is particularly valuable to a beginner in vegetable gardening, giving not only a convenient and reliable planting-table, but giving particular attention to the culture of the vegetables."—Suburban Life.
LINCOLN, ABRAHAM, THE MAN OF THE PEOPLE
"A life of Lincoln that has never been surpassed in vividness, compactness, and lifelike reality."—Chicago Tribune.
"Mr. Hapgood is not depicting a mere model here, but a living, awkward, fallible, steadfast, noble man."—Boston Globe.
