Book Description
Excerpt from The Student's Handbook of British and American Literature, Containing Sketches Biographical and Critical of the Most Distinguished English Authors, From the Earliest Times to the Present Day: With Selections From Their Writings, and Questions Adapted to the Use of Schools The compiler of this work has long felt the necessity of some text-book of British and American Literature, which, in its general bearing, would be free from sectarian views and influences; and, in the extracts, be entirely une'xceptionable in point of morality. Such a book, it seemed to him, would be highly desirable for Educational Institutions; and might prove a suitable Manual for the young of both sexes, in the more advanced classes of our schools and colleges.
