Présentation de l'éditeur
This book has been prepared with a view to supplying such a variety of reading matter as will make the learner familiar with an extensive vocabulary, and at the same time afford practice in reading varied kinds of composition. It is believed that the selections will be found to possess literary merit, making them worthy of being studied with care, and that the variety is such as to afford sufficient drill in the art of reading. It has been the constant aim to select only such pieces as are of permanent interest, expressing worthy thoughts not beyond the comprehension of classes who use a Fourth Eeader. Fully aware that children are largely influenced by what they read at school, the selections in this book have been made with great care, and nothing not calculated to produce a healthful impression has been admitted to its pages. It has not been deemed wise to take up much space with analyses of pieces, or with questions upon the lessons. A very few of the latter have been inserted sitoply aa a guide to the pupil in preparing his lesson. For a book of this grade, questions, such as every intelligent teacher will frame for himself, are of more value than any prepared by the authors could be.
