 MAYNARD’S ' ENGLISH CLASSIC SERIES

For Classes in English Literature, Reading, Grammar, etc.

Edited by Eminent American and English Scholars

The plan of preparation is uniform. In addition to an in- troduction and a biographical sketch of the author, the text is amply supplied with historical, etymological, and other explan- atory notes.

The purpose of these books is to offer only the best litera- ture — either for supplementary reading or for critical study — and to include selections from all representative authors, American and English, as well as translations from ancient classics.

With few exceptions, cach number is devoted to a complete work of a single author, and that part of his writings has been selected which would best illustrate his style, as well as other- wise interest the pupil or the general reader. Besides the con- venience of size, one will at once see the economy of purchas- ing only what is wanted instead of a large book of selections of which but a part is studied. As it is now generally admitted by our leading educators that a taste for good literature is best acquired rather by the reading of many of the best authors than by the critical study of a few, the Classics may further invite favor by the fund of such material they offer,

138 Nos. at 12 cents each. 38 Nos. at 24 cents each, 27 Nos. at 25 to 40 cents each,

A fall descriptive catalogue with special prices to schools will be sent on application.
