    I'm putting in a new bookshelf later today for my winter reading editions. This set would be a great start.

    I'm the first comment! Huzzah! Not terribly eloquent, so perhaps I NEED this book!

    How interesting! It would probably be fascinating to read what was considered eloquent then.

    Judging by our politicians today, not to mention some of our celebrities, eloquence is an almost lost art worth preserving. I would loan these books to others readily.
