The collection brings together 101 well-known poems drawn primarily from British and American poets, presenting a wide range of classic English-language verse that reflects popular tastes of the early twentieth century. Many editions also feature a prose supplement that includes significant historical and inspirational documents, such as Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, the Declaration of Independence, the Ten Commandments, and Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech.
