editors drew from literature of all times and all kinds what they considered the best pieces of human writing, and compiled an ambitious collection of 45 volumes (with a 46th being an index-guide). Besides the selection and translation of a huge number of poems, letters, short stories and sections of books, the collection offers, before each chapter, a short essay about the author or subject in question.

According to the editor Charles Dudley Warner, this collection "is not a library of reference only, but a library to be read."This seventh volume contains chapters from "Henry Cuyler Bunner" to "Charles Stuart Calverley".
