Excerpt from Fairy Tales in Prose and Verse: Selected From Early and Recent Literature; Edited, With Notes How I think the series should be used is explained in a little pamphlet of Hints to Teachers, which may be obtained, post-free, from the publishers. The suggestions there given, and illustrated in detail by references to the notes in the two earlier volumes, are equally applicable to this book, with such slight modifications as the difference in the text obviously requires. As I have said in the pamphlet, man of the notes are intended for the teacher rather than the pupil; an the proportion of these is somewhat greater in this volume than in the others.

Excerpt from Tales in Prose and Verse The introduction of a female nurse in the camp also met with objection. It was argued that no decent woman could be prevailed to accept Roar ing Camp as her home, and the speaker urged that they didn't want any more of the other kind. This unkind allusion to the defunct mother, harsh as it may seem, was the first spasm of propriety the first symptom of the camp's regeneration. Stumpy advanced nothing. Perhaps he felt a cer tain delicacy in interfering with the selection of a possible successor in cfiice. But when questioned, he averted stoutly that he and J inny - the mam mal before alluded to - could manage to rear the child. There was something original, independent, and heroic about the plan that pleased the camp. Stumpy was retained Certain articles were sent for to Sacramento. Mind, said the treasurer, as he pressed a bag of gold dust into the ex pressman's hand, the best that can be got - lace, you know, and filigree-work and frills, -d - m the cost!

Excerpt from Prose and Verse of Eugene Field: The Holy Cross and Others Tales For my own part, I would select Yorick as the very forecast, in imaginative literature, of our various Eugene. Surely Shakespeare conceived the mad rogue of Elsinore as made up of grave and gay, of wit and gentle ness, and not as a mere clown or jig maker. It is true that when Field put on his cap and bells, he too was wont to set the table on a roar, as the feasters at a hun dred tables, from Casey's Table d'hote to the banquets of the opulent East, now rise to testify. But Shakespeare plainly re veals, concerning Yorick, that mirth was not his sole attribute, that his motley covered the sweetest nature and the tenderest heart.
