Another valuable feature of arrangement is the frequent bringing together of selections that bear some relation to one another. A simple cycle of this sort may be seen where in the eighth volume the account of Lord Nelson's great naval victory is followed by _Casabianca_; a better one where in the fifth volume there is an account of King Arthur, followed by tales of the Round Table Knights from Malory, and _Geraint and Enid_ and _The Passing of Arthur_ from Tennyson. By this plan one selection serves as the setting for another, and a child often can see how the real things of life prove the inspiration for great writers. Again, in the fourth volume is _The Pine Tree Shillings_, a New England story or tradition for girls; this is followed immediately by _The Sunken Treasure_, a vivid story for boys; next comes _The Hutchinson Mob_, a semi-historical sketch, followed in turn by _The Boston Massacre_, which is pure history. The cycle is completed by _The Landing of the Pilgrims_ and _Sheridan's Ride_, two historical poems. _Graphic Classification of Masterpieces_ on page 14 will show more clearly what is meant by the overlapping of subjects. In the column at the left are given the names of the subjects under which the selections have been classified, running from _Fables_ to _Drama_, and _Studies_, the last name including all the varied helps given by the author. Across the top of the table the Roman numerals, I to X, indicate the numbers of the ten volumes. The shading in the squares shows the relative quantity of material. In using the _Classification_, "read across to learn in which volume the subjects are treated; read down to find what each volume contains." Thus: The first volume contains (reading down), a great many fables, many fairy stories and much folk lore, a few myths and old stories, a little biography, some biblical or religious material, selections that may be classified under the heads of nature, humor and poetry; but there is no account of legendary heroes, no travel and adventure, no history, nothing of a patriotic nature and no drama. On the other hand (reading across), there are many fables in the first volume, a few in the second but none thereafter; a few myths and some classic literature are found in the first three volumes, more in the fourth and fifth, but the number and quantity decrease in the sixth and do not appear thereafter; nature work is to be found in all the volumes but is strongest in the seventh; drama appears in the eighth and the ninth. Biography has a place in all volumes, but is strongest in the seventh; while the Studies, appearing in all volumes, reach their highest point in the tenth. _3. The Studies and Helps_
