PREFACE.

IN compiling this little work an attempt has been made to select extracts which are, as far as possible, complete in themselves. Explanations have been given where it was thought necessary, and a short biographical note is prefixed to the first extract made from any of our leading authors. No attempt has been made at classification, one object being to give as much variety as possible.

Several pieces have been included which teachers who take Literature as a specific subject' will find suitable.

LIVERPOOL, 1881.
