M., DEFINER, AND ANALYZER," “ ELOCUTIONARY CHART," ETC. IVISON, BLAKEMAN, TAYLOR & Co., NEW YORK AND CHICAGO. 894 S215 Eduar, desit. EDUCATION DEPT. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1882, by CHARLES W. SANDERS, the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the Southern District of New York. VIEW AD merely in the light of its primary purpose, without referenc: to collateral aims, the present work is simply a com. prehens: re course of reading. But this view is quite inadequale, because superficial. It is like examining a watch without opening the case. The main part is left out of sight. A better view may be gained by a different illustration; for, as in a great garden, representing all the products of the earth, where art works with nature in promotion of the general design,—where color, form, and variety unite in wooing the sense of beauty,—where every noxious growth is closely watched and carefully excluded, and where, in addition to all this, a guide is at hand to point out the character of each production, so here, in the compass of a single volume, is a collection of specimens from every part of the literary world, all duly arranged and duly explained, and all shedding the selectest moral influence. Put, to enable the young reader better to appreciate all this variety of style and subject, pertinent collateral instructions and suggestions are provided throughout. These reach down to the very elements of vocal utterance. They reach up to whatever, in the matter of reading, can either be taught by rules or illus trated by example. (3) M1931877 |
