INTRODUCTION TO FOURTH EDITION

No change has been made in this list for five "years. In pre-
paring this edition all books included in the last, that of 1913,
were carefully considered, 174 of them were dropped and 173
were added to take their places. (Through an error the 1913
list contained 1,001 titles.)

In making these changes we engaged the services of Myron
R. Williams, now professor of English at Phillips Exeter
Academy, Exeter, N. H. To him the whole project was sub-
mitted, for criticism of the old list and for suggestions for the
present one. His work proved most helpful in many ways, and
particularly by adding the outlook of the whole field of fiction
which is taken by a wide and generous reader and eager student
of literature, to the views of the practising librarians, members
of the Newark library staff, who were eager to make a list
which shall please our own peculiar clientele. The correspond-
ence with Mr. Williams was conducted for the library by Miss
Marie L. Prevost, our^head cataloger. It was vigorously pressed
on both sides and was keenly enjoyed by all of us who kept
in touch with it. The result was the inevitable, and to us very
admirable, compromise. That Mr. Williams was fairly well
content to have the number of changes made as few as 173,
is evidence that the old list, itself the product of many hands
through several revisions, had no small merit. It should be
noted, however, that Mr. Williams, — as well as the librarian,
and Miss Prevost, and Miss Beatrice Winser, assistant librarian
and several assistants, — was restrained in his freedom of choice
in no small degree by the statements concerning the character
of the list which are found in the preface to the first edition,
1904, here reprinted. These statements were accepted by all
of us as still binding. That is to say, the list is not Mr.
Williams' list ; but is a list to which he can give a fairly generous
approval, in view of the limitations set by the purpose for which
it is intended.

Miss Prevost it should be said, not only made the first copy
for the printer, including the examination of editions, publishers'
prices, etc.; she also, like Mr. Williams, gave the whole field
of fiction, and especially novels of the last five years, a careful
review. The list owes much to her work and study.

INTRODUCTION TO THE FIRST EDITION

Much of the best literature is fiction. Shakespeare's fancy
did not burden itself with facts. His history was far less
accurate that Winston Churchill's. His imagination waited on
his humor, as always in the fabulist. Dogberry's original would
be harder to find than David Harum's. All dramas are novels
plus a playwright's stage directions. Poetry is fiction first, and
then poetry. Chaucer began the great line of English story-
tellers; and Hardy and Barrie, and scores of others, are their
worthy followers.

If printing was a happy thought and books are not a curse,
then novels must be praised. They belong, with the dramas
and the poems, among the good things which make our heritage ;
which unite men by community of thought and feeling; which
make it a joy to have the art of reading; and give us simple
pleasures, strong emotions, knowledge of our fellows, and
sympathy with all mankind.

One may live well and be happy and read no stories; but
most are wiser, happier and worth more to their fellows for
the novels they have read.

There is much discussion of the novel and most of it quite
profitless. To no two men does life seem the same. Each, if
he writes, must report that which he sees. One talks of realism,
and professes to give us a transcript of life as it truly is, and for-
gets that the life which truly is, for him, is a life no other ever
saw or ever can see, and that his own vision set out in words of
his own choosing is a part of his own self, and real to no other
mind.

•It pleases some to write the fanciful romances. They lay
the scene in fairyland, in Csesar's Rome, in Cromwell's England,
or in a Kansas country town, as is to them easy and attractive.
If well done they seem true to fact as one reads them. They
portray men and women who seem like the men and women of
our daily experience. Between this good romance and the best
of realistic novels, who can draw a line of separation?

And shall the novel have no purpose? May it not try to make
a little history more real? To enforce a moral? To plead for
some reform? To expose some abuse, gird at some folly,
satirize some weakness ? To these questions the sufficient answer
is the abounding fact. If trees may grow and birds may sing then

novels may be as their writers please. Moreover, supply follows
demand. Many like their history, sermons, satires, psychology,
and all their studies of their fellowmen set forth in fiction,
and dramas, poetry and the novel are straightway produced.
Why quarrel with this? And why beat the air with a vain
discussion of forms, influences and rules and principles? Tom
Sawyer is a good story, but its moral is not easily found.
Many have found morals in King Lear, and call it also a good
tale. Neither story is true. To say both are realistic makes
neither better worth reading. To condemn either because it
differs from the other is absurd. To read discussions of either
by one less a poet than Shakespeare or less a humorist than
Twain is a waste of time.

And yet as some novels are surely better than others, as well as
different from them, it is wise to read chiefly the better ones ;
and how shall we distinguish if one does not compare? Are
there not principles of literary criticism which one may learn, and
then may apply and then may see fiction humbly classify itself
into best, good, poor and bad before one's eyes? Because novels
pass from the best to the worst by an infinite series of minute
gradations are we estopped from saying of any one, this is in
the upper ranks, of another, this is in the lower ranks? Within
certain limits, yes. Is there no way of telling a good novel when
you see one? No, there is not.

Here are poems, plays and stones. Their prime purpose is to
please. If that statement seems to set too high a value on
pleasure and to underestimate teaching and preaching, then we
can at least say that if novels do not please they are not read and
fail at all points. If they please a few, they are in so far good;
if they please many we may call them better. How shall we
arrive at a more definite estimate? Is the best poet he who is
most read? May we insist that in the rating of the poet's work
the character of his readers be considered as well as their
number? May a poem or a story prove its greatness by its
popularity? Does it lose its greatness as its popularity wanes?
Have we a supreme court of fiction?

The conclusion of the whole matter is simple. We cannot
make rules for pleasures, or regulate taste by laws. Tastes, feel-
ings, pleasures come by nature, and they come differently to
everyone. They do not come by reason and they do not change
to order. A good general guide in art, in belles-lettres, in fiction,

6 A THOUSAND OF THE BEST NOVELS.

poetry and drama is this: Those things which have pleased the
most people for the longest time are the better. The better book
is the one that gives the greater pleasure and those that have
long given pleasure not only deserve praise for work done but
deserve to be reported as likely to continue to give pleasure.
Further, those persons are likely to be better judges of the
pleasure-giving capacities of a book who have read many books,
who take delight in reading, and so have shown themselves to be
sensitive to such matters as style, plot and characterization. The
old books, then, which have long been read and enjoyed are prob-
ably worth reading again. And of the newer books those are
more likely to be worth reading which people with experience,
sensitive temperament and brains say are good.

This is a preface to a list of good novels. The compilers of it
have not assumed to be judges; but have selected from the old
books those that seem best as judged by their more frequent use
by people of taste and sense, and from the newer books those
which the best current criticism points out as best worth while.
Accordingly, we call it a list of a thousand of the best novels.
It has been selected by the best rule we could discover, the rule
of experience.

* 41 * afc * *

The library buys some of the new novels as issued from month
to month and year to year. Most of them lose their popularity
in a few months. Copies of them accumulate on the shelves, and
the titles swell the catalog. As they wear out they must be
replaced, if still in the catalog; and yet they are little wanted.
To meet these difficulties we propose to revise the whole list,
omit those little used, select good editions of the titles remaining
on the list thus reduced and try to keep a good supply of them
on hand. The thousand titles herewith form the foundation of
such a shortened list. Not all the other 4,000 titles now on the
shelves will be dropped but many of them will be gradually, some
will be transferred to literature, and some will be retained and
their cards kept in the catalog. This list meanwhile will be
widely circulated, being offered as a sufficiently large collection
for ordinary use. New novels will be purchased as issued as
heretofore and the thousand titles will be reprinted in about a
year, with such omissions and additions as criticism and good
new books make advisable.

We have omitted some of those older books which are in every

A THOUSAND OF THE BEST NOVELS. 7

library, which no gentleman's library should be without, which
everyone knows of and very few read. It seemed unnecessary
to reprint their titles here.

We wished to cover the whole field and have thought it proper
to omit a good many titles from the long lists of such acknowl-
edged masters as Scott, Balzac and Hardy and to put in books
by lesser men. Thus we may have lowered the grade of the
whole a little; but have, we hope, by covering a wider range of
writers, made it more interesting.

We have come down to date. And because we wish the list to
be attractive to the average reader in the average library, we have
admitted a good many recent books, whose worth is still open to
question.

Books for young people, not popular with the elders, we have
reserved for a brief supplementary list. The same is true of
fairy tales, folklore and books of humor not carrying a strong

thread of story.

******

On a list of all the novels in the Newark library, about 5,000
titles, a D was placed opposite all titles found in the list of about
i, 800 novels for old and young compiled by the Denver library
in 1896. This Denver list was formed by selecting about half
of the 3,500 titles which had been purchased by that library during
the previous seven years.

On the same list an S was then marked opposite all titles found
in a list of novels compiled by the City Library, Springfield,
Mass., in 1901. This Springfield list was formed by selecting
about 1,800 novels for adults from a list of about ten thousand
gathered during the previous 40 years.

On the same list an A was then marked opposite all titles found
in the list of novels for adults, about 800 titles, forming part of
the list of 8,000 books for small libraries compiled by the Ameri-
can Library Association for the St. Louis Exhibition. This was
done from galley proofs, not from the final list.

Then the librarian, the first assistant, and the chiefs of the
reference and delivery departments and the reading room in the
Newark library marked, on this same Newark list, their several
initials opposite the 1,000 titles they each preferred.

The Newark list was then marked in the same way for a
thousand titles, by Miss Medlicott, Reference Librarian of the
City Library, Springfield, Mass.

8 A THOUSAND OF THE BEST NOVELS.

It was checked by Leypoldt and lies' list of books for girls and
women and their clubs.

With these several marks as a basis, and following them in most
cases, the Newark library then selected about 700 titles as a first
draft of the final list. To these titles were added full names,
publishers and prices.

Most of the marks placed as above described were gathered
opposite a total of about 1,400 titles. Of these the 700 selected for
a basis were only half. It has been interesting to note that the
selection of the 300 titles to complete the 1,000 was much the more
difficult part of the task. It seems that about 700 novels may be
classed as obviously "good." We think almost any reader would
put about 700 of the books in this list in a list of the thousand
best which he might compile. About the other 300, opinions
would widely differ.

These 700 were sent, with a note of explanation, to a number of
the librarians of the State, with the request that they criticize and
add. On the basis of their replies a few titles were dropped from
the first 700. From the titles suggested for addition — few in
number — and from the rejected 700 of the first 1,400, 300 were
finally chosen.

The completed list of a thousand titles was then put in type and
galley proofs were sent to all those who criticized the first proof,
and to several others. A few changes were made on the basis of
the criticisms returned with these proofs.
