PREFACE. THIS volume differs from an ordinary Reader in being made up of continuous passages. Its use is intended to increase the taste for reading, and with that the power to read, both at school and at home. If it is read by a pupil as it should be, it will make him want to read the works from which it is taken, and other works of kindred excellence. It can be read by the fireside without a teacher, and still lead to the same desire for good books of every name. The love of reading is the end in view. S. E. CONTENTS. LANDLORD'S TALE. PAUL REVERE'S RIDE SICILIAN'S TALE. KING ROBERT OF SICILY (Whole number of pages 412.) |
