Adapted for use in Colleges, High Schools, Academies, etc. By BRAINERD KELLOGG, LL.D., Dean of the Faculty and Professor of the English Language and Literature in the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, Author of a \"Text-Book on Rhetoric,\" and one of the Authors of Reed and Kellogg's \"Graded Lessons in English,\" \"Higher Lessons in English,\" and \" High School Grammar.\" 12mo, cloth, 485 pp. Price, $1.25.\n\nThe Book is divided into the following Periods:\n\nPeriod I. Before the Norman Conquest, 670-1066. Period II.-From the Conquest to Chaucer's death, 1066-1400. Period III. From Chaucer's death to Elizabeth, 1400-1558. Period IV.-Elizabeth's reign, 1558-1603. Period V.-From Elizabeth's death to the Restoration, 1603-1660. Period VI. From the Restoration to Swift's death, 1660-1745. Period VII.\u2014 From Swift's death to the French Revolution, 1745-1789. Period VIII. From the French Revolution, 1789, onwards.\n\nEach Period is preceded by a Lesson containing a brief r\u00e9sum\u00e9 of the great historical events that have had somewhat to do in shaping or in coloring the literature or that Period.\n\nExtracts, as many and as ample as the limits of a text-book would allow, have been made from the principal writers of each Period. Such are selected as contain the characteristic traits of their authors, both in thought and expression, and but few of these extracts have ever seen the light in books of selections \u2014none of them have been worn threadbare by use, or have lost their freshness by the pupil's familiarity with them in the school readers.\n\nIt teaches the pupil how the selections are to be studied, soliciting and exacting his judgment at every step of the way which leads from the author's diction up through his style and thought to the author himself; and in many other ways it places the pupil on the best possible footing with the authors whose acquaintance it is his business, as well as his pleasure, to make.\n\nShort estimates of the leading authors, made by the best English and American critics, have been inserted.\n\nThe author has endeavored to make a practical, common-sense text-book\u2014one that would so educate the student that he would know and enjoy good literature.\n\nMAYNARD, MERRILL, & CO., PUBLISHERS\n\n29, 31 and 33 EAST 19TH STREET, NEW YORK MAYNARD'S\n\n' ENGLISH CLASSIC SERIES\n\nFor Classes in English Literature, Reading, Grammar, etc.\n\nEdited by Eminent American and English Scholars\n\nThe plan of preparation is uniform. In addition to an introduction and a biographical sketch of the author, the text is amply supplied with historical, etymological, and other explanatory notes.\n\nThe purpose of these books is to offer only the best literature\u2014either for supplementary reading or for critical study\u2014and to include selections from all representative authors, American and English, as well as translations from ancient classics.\n\nWith few exceptions, cach number is devoted to a complete work of a single author, and that part of his writings has been selected which would best illustrate his style, as well as otherwise interest the pupil or the general reader. Besides the convenience of size, one will at once see the economy of purchasing only what is wanted instead of a large book of selections of which but a part is studied. As it is now generally admitted by our leading educators that a taste for good literature is best acquired rather by the reading of many of the best authors than by the critical study of a few, the Classics may further invite favor by the fund of such material they offer,\n\n138 Nos. at 12 cents each.\n\n38 Nos. at 24 cents each.\n\n27 Nos. at 25 to 40 cents each.\n\nA fall descriptive catalogue with special prices to schools will be sent on application.\n\nMAYNARD, MERRILL, & CO., Publishers\n\n29, 31, and 33 East 19th Street, New York SUPPLEMENTARY READING\n\nBelow is given a suggestive and carefully graded course of supplementary reading offered in\n\nMAYNARD'S ENGLISH CLASSIC SERIES\n\nThe numbers show the order in which the books are listed in the descriptive catalogue of the Series which will be sent to any address.
