[Illustration: EVANGELINE.] EVANGELINE A TALE OF ACADIE BY HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW Edited with Introduction, Notes and a Plan of Study BY W.F. CONOVER. A. FLANAGAN CO., PUBLISHERS, CHICAGO Copyright 1899 by W.F. CONOVER NOTE. The distinctive feature of this edition of Evangeline is the PLAN OF STUDY which forms the latter part of the volume. This Plan for the study of "Evangeline" is the outgrowth of several years' teaching of this delightful poem. It has proved successful in securing very satisfactory work from classes varying greatly in ability. It has resulted, in a considerable majority of cases, in (1) in awakening an interest in and a love for good literature; (2) opening up the field of literature in a new way, and showing that much wealth may be gotten by digging below the surface; (3) developing a considerable power of discrimination; (4) enlarging the pupil's working vocabulary.
