(9) SOME INTERESTING BOOKS.
In the research work entailed in compiling this course a great number
of very beautiful books came under my notice. I made a careful
examination of them, and it was with a pang of regret I had to omit
them from the Reading Lists. However, I received so much joy in
looking through them--the beauty not always being from the physical
side--that I decided to make a select list and advise students to be on
the _qui vive_ for any of them. All the books mentioned should be in
the possession of our large public reference libraries, and students
wishing for a little more than the examination side of their studies
would do well to avail themselves of any opportunity they may have of
examining the books for themselves. If they are anything like true
book-lovers they will be delighted with all they see and read.
