Publisher's Synopsis
The Modern English Reader Series
Easier Reading. Same Great Classics.
This book has been edited to make it easier for the modern English reader.
Phrases and words with little or no modern meaning, such as, "See how sin pleads custom, and that is a leopard's spot" have been changed to read, "See how we become accustomed to sin, just as a leopard does to his spots." In other words, it's easier to read!
