Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ladies' Reader Designed for the Use of Ladies' Schools and Family Reading Circles: Comprising Choice Selections From Standard Authors, in Prose and Poetry; With the Essential Rules of Elocution, Simplified and Arranged for Strictly Practical Use
Attractiveness and instructiveness are the two essentials which I have endeavored to unite in the present work. A wide field of literature has been embraced in my choice of subjects. The most approved specimens of standard authors have been used, a large portion of which have never before been introduced into School Readers - and these have been chosen and arranged with a due regard to the development of a purely natural and impressive method of delivery. I have also provided a rich and varied collec tion of Poetic examples for practice in Modulation, and emotional expression. At the same time I have not neglected a phase of the Art which may be characterized as the C'olloquial style.
