well-researched anthology of all time comprises both the 50-volume "5-foot

cover every major literary figure, philosopher, religion, folklore and
historical subject through the twentieth century.n 1910, Dr. Charles W. Eliot,

"all the books needed for a real education."
"Dr.Charles W.Eliot, the former
Harvard president who edited the series, maintained that if one read just 15
minutes a day from the 51 volumes he assembled, it would constitute "a
good substitute for a liberal education to anyone who would read them with
devotion."
