Book Description
Excerpt from The Advanced Reader The Industrial Arts are necessary arts. The most degraded savage must practise them, and the most civilized genius cannot dispense with them. Whatever be our gifts of intellect or fortune, we cannot avoid being hungry, and thirsty, and cold, and weary every day; and we must fight for our lives against the hunger, and thirst, and cold, and weariness, which wage an unceasing war against us. But we can live down the longest day without help from music, or painting, or sculpture, and it is only in certain moods of mind that we demand or can enjoy these noble arts. But, though the industrial arts are common, they are not ignoble arts. They minister, indeed, to those physical wants which we share with the lower animals, but we are raised above them as much 'by being industrial, as by being aesthetic artists. We are the former in virtue of our superior intellect, as we are the latter in virtue of our superior imagination. Let me ask your attention to this point. It is with every-day life, and every-day cares, that the Industrial Arts have to do; with man, not as a little lower than the angels, but as crushed before the moth, and weaker than the weakest of the beasts that perish with man as a hungry, thirsty, restless, quarrelsome, naked animal. But it is my province to show that man, because he is this, and just because he is this, is raised by the industrial con quests which he is compelled to achieve, to a place of power and dignity, separating him by an absolutely immeasurable interval from every other animal.

Book Description
Excerpt from Pollard's Advanced Reader In availing themselves of the privileges of a preface, the editors of this book desire both to speak a word of introduction to it and to give some reasons for making it. And they hope to compass both these purposes by setting forth some of the principles upon which the selections of the book have been made and by calling attention to certain features of the work.

Book Description
Excerpt from Longmans' -Ship- Literary Readers: The Advanced Reader When the book is used in class, the teacher may perhaps let his pupils read through the whole of a passage, or a substantial part of it, before he offers or. Demands explanations. After this has been done, the notes may be consulted for items likely to lend further interest to the narrative. We certainly do not usually want to know much about an author until our curiosity has been quickened by the intrinsic attractiveness of his work; nor ought We to expect in our pupils, any more than in ourselves, a desire to know the source of a passage until some rational interest has been created by the reading of it. The profitable rule is to arouse interest in the author and the circumstances of his work by cultivating a preliminary interest in the matter of the work itself.

Book Description
Excerpt from Longmans' "Ship" Literary Readers: The Sixth Reader Still h0ping to find Winter in advance of him, Drake went on next to Tarapaca, where silver from the Andes mines was shipped for Panama. At Tara paca there was the same unconsciousness of danger. The silver bars lay piled on the quay, the muleteers who had brought them were sleeping peacefully in the sunshine at their side. The muleteers were left to their slumbers. The bars were lifted into the English boats. A train of mules or llamas came in at the moment with a second load as rich as the first. This, too, went into the Pelican's hold. The bullion taken at Tarapaca was worth nearly half a million ducats.

Excerpt from Advanced First Reader Whatever is beautiful and true, and within the grasp of his own comprehension, instinctively appeals to the little child. His eyes are daily opening upon a world of law and symmetry, and he is a part of it and responds to its unity, even before he is able to formulate the impressions wrought upon his plastic mind.
