PREFACE T.O NEW EDITION
In response to the requests of a number of teachers who have suggested that a few of the exercises are rather too difficult for the average student, notes have been added to the text and a key to the more difficult exercises has been provided on pp. 281—90.
As I have purposely chosen the extracts with a view to widening the reader's vocabulary a good English dictionary, e.g. Nuttall's, Webster's. The Concise Oxford or West's New Method English Dictionary, is essential. The last has been specially prepared for foreign students.
The author's Concise English Grammar for Foreign Students (Longmans, Green & Co.) will alsó be found useful.

PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION
One of the greatest difficulties that I have encountered in the course of several years of teaching English to foreign students has been that of finding suitable material for reading, and though essays, novels and anthologies of prose have all been tried, and have all much to commend them, none of them was wholly satisfactory. It is in the hope that the present volume may help to meet this need that I have prepared it.
The material in it is varied in style, prose and poetry being included ; and in tone it ranges from the sombre dignity of Hardy to the gay flippancy of " Evoe," from the lyric beauty of John Galsworthy to the gentle irony of Goldsmith, from the polished periods of Macaulay to the modern
colloquialism of F. W. Thomas.
