sary introductions and editorial helps have been provided, and it is believed that this apparatus will be found more serviceable because in this book, as in the series generally, each classic is .edited not as a unit in itself, with the almost irresistible temptation to overediting, but with reference to the needs of the pupil in relation to the course as a whole. In no other way could these results have been attained. The classics gain in effectiveness for teaching purposes by the setting that is given them. They are accompanied by an abundance of supplementary material that not only gives relief and variety but brings out their significance in ways impossible otherwise. LITERATURE AND LIFE The complete series includes: Book One, for the first year. Book Four, for the fourth year. |
