Synopsis
Excerpt from What Books to Read and How to Read: Being Suggestions for Those Who Would Seek the Broad Highways of Literature
The causes of the increase in books, once we reflect on the history of education during the past hundred years, are plainly discernible. There has grown up a far larger attend ance and greater efficiency in schools and colleges, with enor mous growth in libraries which now are mostly free; a great spread of systems of popular instructions for adults, such as are provided at the Chautauquas, and a striking increase in the number of periodicals, and in their subscription lists, all of which has aroused and cultivated the reading habit. Many popular magazines now find their main subscription lists distributed among small and distant communities from Maine to Texas, and from Florida to Oregon. Publishers of books likewise get their support from every part of the country.
