KELLOGG'S EDITIONS

Each play in One Volume

Text Carefully Expurgated for Use in Mixed Classes

With Explanatory Notes, Examination Papers, and Plan of Study

(SELECTED)

BY BRAINERD KELLOGG, LL.D.

Dean of the Faculty and Professor of the English Language and Literature in the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, and author of a "Text-Book on Rhetoric," a "Text-Book on English Literature," and one of the authors of Reed & Kellogg's "Lessons in English."

The notes of English Editors have been freely used; but they have been rigorously pruned, or generously added to, wherever it was thought they might better meet the needs of American School and College Students.

We are confident that teachers who examine these editions will pronounce them better adapted to the wants of the class-room than any other editions published. Printed from large type, attractively bound in cloth, and sold at about one-half the price of other School Editions of Shakespeare.

Besides the desirable text-book features already described, each volume contains a portrait of Shakespeare, his birthplace, editorial and general notices, introduction to Shakespeare's grammar, a plan of study for perfect possession of the play, introduction to the play, and critical opinions.

THE YOUNG AMERICAN

A CIVIC READER

BY HARRY PRATT JUDSON, LL.D.
Head Professor of Political Science in the University of Chicago

The plan of the book is to afford exercise in reading and at the same time to give to young pupils not going beyond the grammar school a good knowledge of the structure and working of our government; to make clear to them at what a tremendous cost that government was formed and established; and to fix in their minds through the words of our great poets and statesmen the principles that should govern us as a people.

"It is a timely book." New occasions teach new duties, and the one duty nearest at hand, in view of the stirring events of our recent history, is to inspire young pupils with a deep love for our country.

A TEXT-BOOK ON ENGLISH LITERATURE

With copious extracts from the leading authors, English and American, and full instructions as to the method in which these are to be studied. Adapted for use in Colleges, High Schools, Academies, etc. By BRAINERD KELLOGG, LL.D., Dean of the Faculty and Professor of the English Language and Literature in the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, Author of a "Text-Book on Rhetoric," and one of the Authors of Reed and Kellogg's "Graded Lessons in English," "Higher Lessons in English," and "High School Grammar." 12mo, cloth, 485 PP. Price, $1.25. The Book is divided into the following Periods:

Period I. Before the Norman Conquest, 670-1066. Period II.-From the Conquest to Chaucer's death, 1066-1400. Period III.-From Chaucer's death to Elizabeth, 1400-1558. Period IV.-Elizabeth's reign, 1558-1603. Period V. From Elizabeth's death to the Restoration, 1603-1660. Period VI. From the Restoration to Swift's death, 1660-1745. Period VII.From Swift's death to the French Revolution, 1745-1789. Period VIII.— From the French Revolution, 1789, onwards.

Each Period is preceded by a Lesson containing a brief résumé of the great historical events that have had somewhat to do in shaping or in coloring the literature of that Period.

Extracts, as many and as ample as the limits of a text-book would allow, have been made from the principal writers of each Period. Such are selected as contain the characteristic traits of their authors, both in thought and expression, and but few of these extracts have ever seen the light in books of selections -none of them have been worn threadbare by use, or have lost their freshness by the pupil's familiarity with them in the school readers.

It teaches the pupil how the selections are to be studied, soliciting and exacting his judgment at every step of the way which leads from the author's diction up through his style and thought to the author himself; and in many other ways it places the pupil on the best possible footing with the authors whose acquaintance it is his business, as well as his pleasure, to make.

Short estimates of the leading authors, made by the best English and American critics, have been inserted.

The author has endeavored to make a practical, common-sense text-book -one that would so educate the student that he would know and enjoy good literature.
