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.
