Excerpt from A First Class Reader: Consisting of Extracts in Prose and Verse, With Biographical and Critical Notices of the Authors; For the Use of Advanced Classes in Public and Private Schools

This is exclusively a reading book. Pieces suitable for declamation have been inserted' only incidentally and occasionally. The range of English and American literature is now so wide, that it could not have been made a book of extracts for both reading and speaking, without expanding it to an inconvenient and unreasonable size.
