      A Mong The Questions Which Ought To -^- ...

      A MONG the questions which ought to - ^ - occupy the attention of publishers there

      are few that are more important than the selection of commendatory quotations from the

      press . Nicety in the art of selection does not seem to be fully appreciated . Though there

      is hardly a department in practical publishing that requires a greater amount of

      discrimination , the public is perpetually confronted by commonplace commendations . It may be

      that the words are inspired by the authors themselves , or rather selected by them , but

      this cannot be an excuse for the perennial * very interesting , ' * remarkably entertaining /

      ' particularly instructive ' words which serve to fill so many lines in the advertisements in

      daily or weekly newspapers . Let us have a change in this respect . Let

      these ' very interesting , ' ' remarkably entertaining , ' ' particularly instructive ' words have

      a well-earned holiday . Without their aid there is matter enough in good reviews to

      show the drift and sense of good books . We would suggest that those whose business it is

      tp quote , on behalf of themselves or their employers , should read more diligently and with

      more perspicacity than ig ' evidenced' — to use a Yankee word—in newspaper columns .

      Otherwise the paid praise of books , m- will

      continue to be as useless as it is expensive .
