FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS
General Editor:
J. H. FOWLER, M.A.
ASSISTANT MASTER AT CLIFTON COLLEGE.
The Special Features of this Series include the following
(1) The volumes are graduated in difficulty with special reference to the range of study which may be expected in Secondary Schools.
(2) The text of each book is sufficient for one term's work.
(3) The texts are not elaborately annotated, but are provided with such Introductions and Notes as may help to an intelligent appreciation of the text. In the choice of matter for notes it is recognised that the pupil wants such knowledge as grown-up readers also want for the enjoyment of literature—not philological learning.
(4) Glossaries of difficult words and Exercises intended to enlarge the pupil's own vocabulary.
(5) A set of Questions, carefully chosen so as to direct the study of the book upon right lines and discourage cramming of unessential facts.
(6) Suggested subjects for Short Essays.
(7) Passages suitable for Repetition—Prose as well as Verse.
(8) Helps to further study. A short list of books, with explanation of the way in which, or purpose for which, they are to be used.
(9) Many of the volumes are illustrated.
