Excerpt from Course of English Reading: Adapted to Every Taste and Capacity: With Literary Anecdotes A large edition has been circulated, and a demand for a second enables me to notice many recent pub lications, and to profit by the suggestions of gentle readers and severer critics. In reply to repeated inquiries how the Author could have forgotten such and such works of undoubted authority, he replies, that no student would thank him for transcribing the Catalogue of the Bodleian, however much it might add to his reputation for extensive reading. With out aspiring to direct the future studies of Mr. Macaulay in History, of Dr. Buckland in Geology, or of the Duke of Wellington in Military Tactics, he is happy to say, that very learned men have ex pressed their regret that in their early studies they had not the benefit of such simple guidance as this volume affords.
