Choice readings and recitations Selected and arranged

Cover has some light edge and corner wear. Ex-library with all; From the preface, " This little book was originally prepared for use in the editor's classes in elocution, but selections have been included that adapt it to a variety of popular taste. The compiler has aimed to furnish a large number of new pieces that are all specially adapted to be used as readings and recitations. Advantage has been taken of the exhaustion of the first edition, to omit a few of the former pieces, to insert several new ones, and to add a brief appendix. Harper & Brothers and Joughton, Miflin & Co. have kindly permitted the use of pieces protected by copyright. The editor hopes the revised volume will continue to merit the approval of teachers. It is the intention to follow this book as. soon as possible with a book of readings and recitations for younger pupils." ; 5" x 7"; 164 pages Very Good the usual marks. Pages are tight and clean.
