Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on the Examination Papers in English Literature: For Third-Class Certificates, 1878
The chief object of the notes given in this little primer is to assist intending candidates for third-class certificates a secondary object, however, is held in view, viz., that of making it a useful companion to selected parts of the Fifth Reader. This double aim will, in a measure, explain the nature of the notes and questions. It will be observed that both notes and questions are framed more with a view to train the observation and reason, and to suggest thought, than merely to supply information for examination. Thus, derivation is discussed more fully than is usual in public schools, but not, it is believed, too much so for the highest classes, where only, of course, this book will be used. It must be confessed that derivation, as generally taught, amounts to little more than bur dening the memory with a number of foreign and half understood words, of which no further use is to be made.
