Brown cloth with black lettering. No date. No poem, however simple it amy appear, is necessarily easy to recite; but some are obviously more readily understood than others, and my choice of pieces for this present volume has accordingly been in the direction of simplicity. I have included all sorts of selections, serious and humorous, thinking the the Young People who use this book will like to attempt varied recitation. They will find here, may a set of verses they have never read before; and I hope they will be glad to miss quite a number of pieces with which I fear they are only too familiar. The present collection naturally includes poems of national interest and inculcating nationa sentiment, but I also introduce from American and other sources recitations - some narrative, others humorous, and some of a homely character - many of which will I prove welcome to the Young Reader. (Ernest Pertwee). 184 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
