A Text-Book on English Literature
With copious extracts from the leading authors, English and American, and full instructions as to the method in which these are to be studied. 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.
The Book is divided into the following Periods:
Period 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.— From Swift's death to the French Revolution, 1745-1789. Period VIII. From the French Revolution, 1789, onwards.
Each Period is preceded by a Lesson containing a brief résumé of the great historical events that have had somewhat to do in shaping or in coloring the literature or that Period.
Extracts, 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 —none of them have been worn threadbare by use, or have lost their freshness by the pupil's familiarity with them in the school readers.
It 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.
Short estimates of the leading authors, made by the best English and American critics, have been inserted.
The author has endeavored to make a practical, common-sense text-book—one that would so educate the student that he would know and enjoy good literature.

' ENGLISH CLASSIC SERIES
For Classes in English Literature, Reading, Grammar, etc.
Edited by Eminent American and English Scholars
The 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.
The purpose of these books is to offer only the best literature—either for supplementary reading or for critical study—and to include selections from all representative authors, American and English, as well as translations from ancient classics.
With 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,
138 Nos. at 12 cents each.

Reading and Practice.—The candidate for admission will be required to write a paragraph or two on each of several topics chosen by him from a considerable number perhaps ten or fifteen-set before him on the examination paper.
The candidate is expected to read intelligently all the books prescribed. He should read them as he reads other books; he is expected, not to know them minately, but to bave freshly in mind their most important parts.
In preparation for this part of the requirement, it is important that the candidate shall have been instructed in the fundamental principles of rhetoric.
Study and Practice.—A certain number of books will be prescribed for careful study. This part of the examination will be upon subject-matter, literary form, and logical structure, and will also test the candidate's ability to express his knowledge with clearness and accuracy.
In addition, the candidate may be required to answer questions involving the essentials of English grammar, and questions on the leading facts in those periods of English literary history to which the prescribed works belong.

THE YOUNG AMERICAN
A CIVIC READER
BY HARRY PRATT JUDSON, LL.D.
Head Professor of Political Science in the University of Chicago
The plan of the book is to afford exercise in reading and at the same time to give to young pupils not going beyond the grammar school a good knowledge of the structure and working of our government; to make clear to them at what a tremendous cost that government was formed and established; and to fix in their minds through the words of our great poets and statesmen the principles that should govern us as a people.
"It is a timely book," New occasions teach new duties, and the one duty nearest at hand, in view of the stirring events of our recent history, is to inspire young pupils with a deep love for our country.
244 pages, 12mo. Introduction price, 60 cents.
