The Home University Library 
Is without the slightest doubt the pioneer in supplying serious literature 
“it is a thing very favourable to the real success of The Home 
University Library that its volumes do not merely attempt to feed 
ignorance with knowledge. The authors noticeably realise that the 
simple willing appetite of sharp-set ignorance is not specially common 
nowadays ; what is far more common is a hunger which has been 
partially but injudiciously filled, with more or less serious results of 
indigestion. The food supplied is therefore frequently medicinal as 
well as nutritious; and this is certainly what the time requires.”— 
Manchester Guardian. 
“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. 
‘We think if they were given as prizes in place of the more costly 
rubbish that is wont to be dispensed on prize days, the pupils would 
find more pleasure and profit. If the publishers want a motto for the 
series they might well take : ' In/inite riches in a little room.' "—Irish 
Journal of Education. 
“The scheme was successful at the start because it met a want 
among earnest readers; but its wider and sustained success, surely, 
comes from the fact that it has to a large extent created and certainly 
refined the taste by which it is appreciated.”—Daily Chronicle. 
“ Here is the world’s learning in little, and none too poor to give it 
house-room ! ”—Daily Telegraph.
