Select Essays of Macaulay
Edited by SAMUEL THURBER. 12mo, cloth, 219 pages. Price, 50 cents.
This selection comprises the essays on Milton, Bunyan, Johnson,
Goldsmith, and Madame D'Arblay, thus giving illustrations both of
Macaulay's earlier and of his later style. The subjects of the essays
are such as to bring them into close relation with the study of English
Literature.
The notes are intended to help the pupil to help himself. When an
allusion is not easily understood, a note briefly explains it, or at
least indicates where an explanation may be found. In other cases the
pupil is expected to rely on his own efforts, and on such assistance as
his teacher may think it wise to give.

entire. A map of India, giving the location of places named in the

These essays are annotated on the same principle that is followed in the
notes to the Select Essays.
Select Essays of Addison
With Macaulay's Essay on Addison. Edited by SAMUEL THURBER. 12mo, cloth,
340 pages. Price, 60 cents.
The editor has aimed to bring together such papers from the _Spectator_,
the _Tatler_, the _Guardian_, and the _Freeholder_ as will prove most
readable to youth of high school age, and at the same time give
something like an adequate idea of the richness of Addison's vein. The
_De Coverley Papers_ are of course included. There are seventy
selections in all. They have to do with the Spectator Club, the Stage,
Manners, Politics, Morals, and Religion. There are selections from
Addison's Stories and his Hymns. The book contains also Macaulay's Essay
on Addison.
