Excerpt from Fifty English Classics Briefly Outlined
This book is the result of an experience as a teacher and principal extending over more than a score of years and covering every grade of school work from the ungraded country school up to and through college preparatory work. It is built upon a plan which the writer has found useful and contains the material which he has found it most essential to have before him in written or printed form.
The plan is virtually that which is embodied in the writer's plan book entitled "A Brief Outline of the Books I have Read," and is made up largely of matter which he has brought together for his own use. This will account for differences as to treatment and fullness which will be observed in the different outlines. It has seemed best to leave most of them in the form in which they have been found useful. Further, it has seemed wise to give as much variety of form to the different outlines as was consistent with the uniformity of plan upon which the outlines have been put together. Uniformity with variety is a good motto.
