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．
