Book description: Chicago: A. C. McClurg & Co., 1894 Hardcover. New and Revised Edition. 8vo (5.5 x 8"). xiii, 433, (2) pp. Publisher's blue cloth, gilt lettering on spine. Gilt faded, slightly cocked, else Near Fine. VERY GOOD. This is a history of English literature told in a "familiar" style. Its first and overruling purpose is to create a desire, on the part of those who read it, to know the best works of our best authors. "Writing as I do for American readers, for the young people of our country, I have endeavored to impress on them a pride in the works written in their language; I want them to feel they have as much share and as much cause for pride in the glorious names of Shakespeare and Milton as if their grandfathers had not crossed the ocean to settle in Massachusetts or Virginia. English literature to the year 1800 is as much our literature as it is that of any girl or boy born in London or in Yorkshire. Let us lay hold of and claim this grand inheritance. . Revised Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Dust Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
