THE BOSTON TRANSCRIPT SAYS:

"The work shows thorough study and excellent judgment, and we can warmly recommend it to schools and private classes for reading as an admirable text-book."

THE NEW YORK EVENING MAIL SAYS:

"What the author proposed to do was to convey to her readers a clear idea of the variety, extent, and richness of English literature.... She has done just what she intended to do, and done it well."

THE NEW YORK NATION SAYS:

"It is refreshing to find a book designed for young readers which seeks to give only what will accomplish the real aim of the study: namely, to excite an interest in English literature, cultivate a taste for what is best in it, and thus lay a foundation on which they can build after reading."

PROF. MOSES COIT TYLER SAYS:

"I have had real satisfaction in looking over the book. There are some opinions with which I do not agree; but the main thing about the book is a good thing; namely its hearty, wholesome love of English literature, and the honest, unpretending, but genial and conversational, manner in which that love is uttered. It is a charming book to read, and it will breed in its readers the appetite to read English literature for themselves."
