About this book
ERIC ED623356: McGuffey's High School Reader. Revised Edition. Eclectic Educational Series
Author: ERIC
Year: 1889
The rapid multiplication of public libraries and the wide distribution of cheap editions, have rendered books upon all subjects and of every degree of merit and demerit so readily accessible, that it has become necessary not only to teach children how to read, but also to give them such instruction as will enable them to decide wisely what to read. The revised edition of "McGuffey's High School Reader" has been prepared with special reference to the formation of a healthy and discriminating literary taste. The plan of the revision has been to present, in chronological succession, specimens of the best literary style of the several generations of British and American authors between Shakespeare's time and the present, thus affording an outline of the development of Modern English Literature. Contemporary authors are arranged in separate groups, which increase in size as present time is approached.
