The Classical Reader: A Selection of Lessons in Prose and Verse; From the Most Esteemed English and American Writers (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Classical Reader: A Selection of Lessons in Prose and Verse; From the Most Esteemed English and American Writers
We trust that our cabinet will be found to contain a large proportion of new specimens, and to be rich in the products Of our native mines. Some of our friends will perhaps regret that we have brought nothing more from the old and long-deserted veins of Milton's prose, Of Boyle, of Clarendon, of Jeremy Taylor, and of Bacon.
We will venture to call the attention of the public to our collection, as a Family Reader, as well as a school-book. For the latter purpose, however, it was designed and it is our sincere hope, that it may con tribute, in some measure, to the instruction of that interesting portion of the community, who are preparing to enter upon the active scenes Of life and help to imbue them with a generous taste for an elevating.
