NOTE
The books named in this list are mostly
books of fact. A few works of imagination
— plays — are included, but the titles are
nearly all those of biographies, books of
travel, of history, and the like. The authors
have presented them in such entertaining
fashion that they are thought to merit the
description, — “as interesting as a novel.”
