(English Classics is intended to provide for young pupils ...)
English Classics is intended to provide for young pupils a variety of reading exercises, and at the same time to make them acquainted with the names and works of great authors. While the selections are from the writings of recognized masters, they are such as boys and girls studying the common English branches can comprehend. By this rule of selection some of the noblest compositions must, of course, be excluded; but most of the great writers of England and America are represented, a greater number, perhaps, than in any Reader heretofore published. No argument is needed to demonstrate that such a course of reading is desirable for the young. If we would teach our pupils to read ideas as well as words, we must give them ideas to read; if we would train them to speak and write gracefully, we must place before them good models of language. It is association that gives culture. Children that are brought up in the company of high-minded men and women, are, as a rule, like minded ;those that are familiar with noble speech, are generally well spoken. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
