recognised as such by a few hundred people, and assuredly destined
to a far wider fame. I have included FitzGerald because *Omar Khayyám*
is much less a translation than an original work.

I think it will be agreed that the total cost of this library
is surprisingly small. By laying out the sum of sixpence a day
for three years you may become the possessor of a collection of books
which, for range and completeness in all branches of literature,
will bear comparison with libraries far more imposing, more numerous,
and more expensive.

I have mentioned the question of discount. The discount
which you will obtain (even from a bookseller in a small town)
will be more than sufficient to pay for Chambers's *Cyclopædia
of English Literature*, three volumes, price 30s. net.
