Note 254 — VIII. LORD ACTON’S LIST OF THE HUNDRED BEST BOOKS
Reading edition
This was a most comprehensive addition, and fully makes up for the abrupt termination of the list of the hundred best books with two omissions. The omission of the book numbered 88 will also have been remarked. There are probably a hundred “Monatschriften der Wissenschaftlichen Vereine” or magazines of scientific societies issued in Germany. Sperling’s Zeitschriften-Adressbuch gives more than two columns of these.
