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 English Tales in Verse: With an Introduction Literature has hardly evolved an epic style. The lyric and dramatic imagination of the sixteenth century, the curious far-reaching intellect of the seventeenth, the satiric and moralizing reflections of the eighteenth, turned the main currents of verse style aside from the simple ends of story. Spenser drove it in large undulating eddies along his spa clous stanza; Shakespeare tossed it flashing and foaming hither and thither under the stress Of his passion and his thought; Cowley forced it to take the ply of his curious fancy; and Waller began that process of polarizing it into antithesis and crystallizing it into epigram which reached its consummation under the dexterous touch of Pope. Throughout the eighteenth century, narrative verse, unless quickened by the zest of satire or burlesque, was something of a tour de force; the recounting pen willingly meandered into description, or sub sided into sentiment. Then, in very happy time, came to the rescue 'the other harmony of prose'; a cool, indifferent, flexible material, fitted to take the mental mould of the genial but unromantic observers who created the English novel, and long since freed by Dryden from the traditional rhetoric which might have thwarted and perverted their natural vein. The temper of the modern novel has been preponderatingly the temper of prose; and no verse since Chaucer's could have adequately conveyed the wealth of matter-of-fact observation and robust humour in which its strength has lain. Yet verse was not to perish as a vehicle of story. The nineteenth century recovery of poetry was effected largely through the channel of romance.
