MACMILLAN'S NEW LITERARY READERS London MACMILLAN AND CO., LIMITED NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Reading Sheets (17 Sheets, on Manilla. Size 37×38) 12s. 4d. 5d. 6d. 8d. Book I. (112 pp.) 18. 4d. Journal of Education.-"The editors have performed their compilation with great care and judgment, the result being that the extracts have been judiciously selected, systematically graded, and tersely, yet sufficiently annotated. The letterpress is excellent, the illustrations ample, and the general 'get up' of the books everything that could be desired." Educational News.-"The grading of the several lessons, so as to secure safe progress and pleasant interest, is unexceptional. The extracts are skilfully varied, and, in some instances, judiciously condensed. The illustrations are artistic. The binding is bright, the type clear, the paper good, and, in every way, the books do credit to compiler and publishers. The teacher who chooses them will bring within his pupils' reach specimens of cultured thought and graceful style." Board Teacher.-"Ably edited, these readers supply a distinct want. Their special feature is indicated in their title. The matter is copyright and of a high, yet attractive and suitable literary character. We can heartily recommend them." Infants' Mistress.-"These little books are decidedly well got up in every detail, the illustrations-a good proportion of which are coloured-being of first-rate merit, whilst the matter and method of the lessons are both on rational lines. We believe that as much progress and interest can be got from the New Literary Readers as from any set we have seen." Girls' Mistress.-"We have much pleasure in strongly recommending this series of Readers. They are drawn up on correct educational lines." |
