The Literature Note-Book

By Professor F. N. SCOTT, of the University of Michigan, and F. E. BRYANT, of the University of Kansas. Price, each, 6 cents; per dozen, 60 cents; per hundred, $5.00.

This is a blank-book for book reviews and reports on home reading. On the front cover are seventeen numbered questions, each suggesting a possible treatment for the book review. The purpose of these is to enable the teacher with the least labor to prescribe the scope of the essay he wishes the pupil to write. The teacher indicates a question, or series of questions, by number, and the pupil understands that his review is to answer these questions. There are directions for both teacher and pupil. On the back cover is a list of books for home reading.

Select Essays of Macaulay

Edited by SAMUEL THURBER. 12mo, cloth, 219 pages. Price, 50 cents.

This selection comprises the essays on Milton, Bunyan, Johnson, Goldsmith, and Madame D'Arblay, thus giving illustrations both of Macaulay's earlier and of his later style. The subjects of the essays are such as to bring them into close relation with the study of English Literature.

The notes are intended to help the pupil to help himself. When an allusion is not easily understood, a note briefly explains it, or at least indicates where an explanation may be found. In other cases the pupil is expected to rely on his own efforts, and on such assistance as his teacher may think it wise to give.

These essays are annotated on the same principle that is followed in the notes to the Select Essays.

Select Essays of Addison

With Macaulay's Essay on Addison. Edited by SAMUEL THURBER. 12mo, cloth, 340 pages. Price, 60 cents.

The editor has aimed to bring together such papers from the _Spectator_, the _Tatler_, the _Guardian_, and the _Freeholder_ as will prove most readable to youth of high school age, and at the same time give something like an adequate idea of the richness of Addison's vein. The _De Coverley Papers_ are of course included. There are seventy selections in all. They have to do with the Spectator Club, the Stage, Manners, Politics, Morals, and Religion. There are selections from Addison's Stories and his Hymns. The book contains also Macaulay's Essay on Addison.
