The Harvard Classics, originally marketed as Dr. Eliot's Five-Foot Shelf of Books, is a 50-volume series of classic works of world literature, important speeches, and historical documents compiled and edited by Harvard University President Charles W. Eliot.[1][2] Eliot believed that a careful reading of the series and following the eleven reading plans included in Volume 50 would offer a reader, in the comfort of the home, the benefits of a liberal education, entertainment and counsel of history's greatest creative minds.[3] The initial success of The Harvard Classics was due, in part, to the branding offered by Eliot and Harvard University. Buyers of these sets were apparently attracted to Eliot's claims. The General Index contains upwards of 76,000 subject references. 184 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 184 Eli h E91000833 Non Fiction 184 Eli h E91001004 Non Fiction 184 Eli h-2 WhatsApp_Image_2024-10-25_at_17.19.25.jpeg 45746 2014-12-09 10:16:07 2024-10-25 17:21:37 machine generated
