FAMILIAR TALKS ON ENGLISH LITERATURE. A Manual embracing the Great Epochs
of English Literature, from the English conquest of Britain, 449, to the
death of Walter Scott, 1832. By Abby Sage Richardson, Fourth edition,
revised. Price $1.50.

The Boston Transcript says:

"The work shows thorough study and excellent judgment, and we can
warmly recommend it to schools and private classes for reading as an
admirable text-book."

The New York Evening Mail says:

"What the author proposed to do was to convey to her readers a clear
idea of the variety, extent, and richness of English literature.... She
has done just what she intended to do, and done it well."

The New York Nation says:

"It is refreshing to find a book designed for young readers which seeks
to give only what will accomplish the real aim of the study; namely, to
excite an interest in English literature, cultivate a taste for what is
best in it, and thus lay a foundation on which they can build after
reading."

Prof. Moses Coit Tyler says:

"I have had real satisfaction in looking over the book. There are some
opinions with which I do not agree; but the main thing about the book
is a good thing; namely, its hearty, wholesome love of English
literature, and the honest, unpretending, but genial and
conversational, manner in which that love is uttered. It is a charming
book to read, and it will breed in its readers the appetite to read
English literature for themselves."
