Publisher's Synopsis
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 in?uences; 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.
