The definitions, mostly excellent, are printed in thick type. Style is similarly studied by concrete examples, of which the author points out the weak points and faults. It is under Style' that analysis and punctuation are dealt with-a sensible arrangement. The Complete Composition is subdivided, Descriptive, Narrative, Autobiography, Letters.

HARRISON, M.A. Cantab., Author of "Shakespeare's Fellows," "The Story of Elizabethan Drama," Editor of "The Bodley Head Quartos"; and F. H. PRITCHARD, Editor of “English Extracts and Exercises," etc. The New Readers' Shakespeare is edited on quite original lines. Instead of the usual 'Notes' and 'Introduction,' the text has been illuminated with unobtrusive yet helpful stage directions in the manner of one of the greatest modern dramatists. As the title implies, the Editors have treated Shakespeare's plays as literature to be read and enjoyed rather than as matter for linguistic or antiquarian study. Each volume also includes a set of suggestive questions for the use of Teachers and others who wish to study the plays more critically, and also a Glossary of difficult words and phrases. The New Readers' Shakespeare will appeal especially to Teachers who encourage silent reading and who have adopted the Dalton Plan. Size 6×4 inches. School Edition, limp cloth, 1s. each. One Play in each volume, with Introduction, Notes, Essay on Metre, and Glossary. Based on the Globe text. From 144 to 224 pages. Small crown 8vo, 2s. 6d. each. This edition presents the greater plays in their literary aspect, and not merely as material for the study of philology or grammar. Verbal and textual criticism has been included only so far as may serve to help the student in his appreciation of the poetry. Questions of date and literary history have been fully discussed in the Introductions, but the larger portion of space has been devoted to the interpretative rather than to the matter-of-fact order of scholarship. In the notes, though unfamiliar expressions and allusions have been adequately explained, it has been thought more important to consider the dramatic value of each scene, and the part that it plays in relation to the whole.
