In offering to teachers of English histor) a new collection of readings the compilers of this volume believe that they I arc meeting a widely recognized need. The time was when I teachers in convention discussed the value of such collateral reading. Now they seek for ways and means. The value of the work is no longer in question. The general sentiment of teachers and the requirements of the colleges alike demand more than the best textbook can offer. The new demand, however, creates new problems. Where and how may suitable readings be obtained T he best equipment, undoubtedly, is furnished by a large school library with a great variety of books from which to choose and many uplicate copies of the most useful works. But the expense involved is very great so great as to be in many cases prohibitor) .T he best alternative appears to be a collection of such extracts as are suited to the purpose. By this means the pupil is furnished at moderate cost with the best a library affords. If the selections prove interesting he is impelled to go further afield by himself. N The selection of such material is not easy. The need is for vivid and interesting reading calculated to produce a clear nd definite impression. At first sight the field from which one may choose appears wide and fruitful, but it soon narrows down to a very limited area. Selections from the sources have been widely recommended and somewhat lavishly supplied.
