This book is intended for the postgraduate students enrolled
in the Read-ings of Western Culture classes.It seeks to be
inclusive of English writings and American writings at every stage
of the development of western culture,but not exclusive of a few
translated writings from other sources before the earlv
seven-teenth century,which as the fountain of western culture,I
think,are too im-portant to be omitted,and also to be various of
the styles of writings.But as it IS,western culture is SO vast with
such a long history and such a heavy civiliza-tion that I have only
here to glean some highlights sporadically as a skimming glance
upon the western culture.
