Care has been taken that types or schools of literature should be con- 

 sidered, and mark the history as one of organic growth from first to last. 



Criticism is supplemented by exposition, with extracts to exhibit the fashion 

 of a period or the style of a master. The number of authors indicates the 

 importance of a period, and intrinsic power the importance of an author. 

 Artists also in virtue of their historical; scientific, or other extra-literary 

 interest are given due weight. - American literature is considered as a part 

 of the whole, but a brief summary of its history and general characteristics 

 is also given. 



The general arrangement of the book and valuable diagrams showing the 

 division of literature according to ages and characteristics combine to make 

 this manual especially fitted to use in the class-room.
