Excerpt from Macaulay's Essays on Milton and Addison Owing to the fact that two well-edited books of Macaulay's Essays have already appeared in this series, each containing information and suggestions common to all of his essays, it does not seem necessary that any part of that same matter should be repeated in this vol ume. A further reason for brevity in introduction is that the two essays here chosen swell the size of the book beyond that of most of the other numbers of the series.

Excerpt from Macaulay's Essays on Milton and Addison: Edited for School Use With the hope of encouraging this attitude I have ventured to assume the responsibility of setting a oat one more annotated text of Macau lay. Realizing that, in dealing with the work of a writer Whose affiliations with literature are chie y formal (introduction, there is no escape from considerations of style, I have frankly put the matter foremost. But' I have tried to take a broad view of its significance, and in partie ular I have tried to do Macaulay justice. Alto gether too many pupils have carried away from the study of him the narrow idea that his great achievement consisted in using one or two very patent (but, if they only knew it, very petty) rhetor ical devices. It has been the primary aim of my Introduction to set these matters in their right perspective. I have not outlined specific methods of study, which are to be found everywhere by those who value them, but both Introduction and Notes contain many suggestions. It seems better to stop at this. Even the few illustrations I have used have been preferably drawn from essays not here printed. No editor should wish to take from teacher or pupil the profit of investigation or the stimulus of discovery.

Excerpt from Macaulay's Essays on Addison and Milton It may be said, in the first place, that an intelligent and well educated reader does use reference books in connection with his reading. If he is confronted with a word in his own language which gives him no meaning, he reaches for his dictionary; if he finds his geography deficient, he is pretty likely to get out his atlas. He does these things for two reasons. His mind is alert, and seeking all the time to grasp the essential meaning of what he reads; if he fails to grasp it, he feels himself baffled and puzzled, and knows he has lost a part of the enjoyment of the author. Further, he wishes to increase his general knowledge. The best informed persons are just those who are most eager to be better informed.
