Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Familiar Talks on English Literature: A Manual Embracing the Great Epochs of English Literature From the English Conquest of Britain, 449, to the Death of Walter Scott, 1832
The style I have used may be regarded as some times too familiar for the subject. But I hope my book may be read largely by young people; I hope it may be read aloud in classes devoted to the study of literature; and I have therefore used a colloquial tone, hoping by this means more easily to gain the interest and the ear of the reader.
