BACK TO THE CLASSICS
"There never was such a demand for classical literature as now. This is I'Ot merely mv own experience. Recently, I asked' a bookseller friend of mine if he found that the classics are read nowadays, and he said he had never before hail so much business in them," says a Bookseller in the "Evening News."
"Euripides, tho gentle Horace, and Virgil, amongst the ancients; Proissart's Chronicles, Gibbon's Rome, Macaulay, Prescott, and Fronde, on the historical side; and the whole range of poets from Marlowe down to Kipling are inquired for every day where once weeks would elapse lietween sales."
