Synopsis

Excerpt from The Ladies' Book of Readings and Recitations: A Collection of Approved Extracts From Standard Authors, Intended for the Use of Higher Classes in Schools and Seminaries, and for Family Reading Circles

To give completeness to my series. Of ladies' readers, is the design of the present compilation.

It was considered expedient to furnish, for the' ex press use of the highest classes in Ladies' Schools, a collection of Extracts for recitation, collected from our best standard poets, of a character that should render them acceptable to the intelligence and good taste of Pupils, whose matured culture ren dered them capable of appreciating a higher caste of selections than are usually adopted for Text Books in schools. To combine with this main object of a suitable Recitation Book, selections in prose, for Reading Glasses, have been added.
