A Year's Best Books

225 Selected By The Book Board Of the State Library as a Guide to Libraries and Schools

A selected list of the best 225 books published in the United States during the year 1899 has just been issued by the New York State Library. A similar list was issued last year, but the present list comprises 20 more books that were included in last year's list. The selections have been made by the Book Board of the library, and they are recommended to purchasers of books for public libraries in this State. With each title is printed a short descriptive note concerning the book. Many of these books are also recommended by the State Library to schools. THE SATURDAY REVIEW believes its readers will find this list of value.
