Excerpt from The World's Greatest Books, Vol. 4: Fiction Boges hurried away with malicious pleasure in the near success Of his scheme. He met one Of the gardeners, whom he promised to bring some Of the nobles to inspect a special kind Of blue lily, in which the gardener took great pride. He then hurried to the harem to make sure that the king's wives should look their best, and insisted upon Phaedime painting her face white, and putting on a simple, dark dress without ornament, except the chain given her by Cambyses on her marriage, to arouse the pity Of the Achaemenidae, to which family she herself belonged.

An enterprise such as THE WORLD'S GREATEST BOOKS is to be judged from two different standpoints. It may be judged with respect to its specific achievement-the material of which it consists; or it may be judged with regard to its general utility in the scheme of literature to which it belongs. In an age which is sometimes ironically called remarkable for its commercialism, nothing has been more truly remarkable than the advancement in learning as well as in material progress; and of all the instruments that have contributed to this end, none has been more effective, perhaps, than the practical popularisation of literature.
