Excerpt from Lights to Literature, Vol. 4: Revised The purpose throughout the Lights to Literature Series of Readers is to furnish standard literature suited to pupils in the elementary schools. For a large majority of children, the time covered by the fifth and sixth years of school marks a transition in interest from the myth and fairy story to subjects of chivalry, adventure, history, science, and gen eral literature. The material of Book Four forms a natural and easy sequence to Book Three, and meets this advancing interest of the pupils. It fur nishes from the pens of the best authors, tales of chivalry, accounts of national heroes and events, descriptions of nature and of invention, and a large number of selections from classic writers in verse and fiction. These selections from the several departments of general literature will give the reader a personal knowledge of the sources of good read ing. Whenever selections have been made from larger works the title of the latter has been given at the close of the selection. This will serve as a guide to the pupil in his home reading. The selections are all in the language of the authors, and will intro duce the reader to the styles and qualities of individual writers. This acquaintance will form a basis for intelligent discrimination in the matter of reading, and at the same time develop the pupil's power in the use of language. Excellent portraits and carefully prepared biographical sketches of each author are given. These will add to the pupil's interest and give him valuable aid in his further investigations.
