Excerpt from Masterpieces of British Literature The favorable reception given to Masterpieces of American Authors has led the publishers to put forth this companion volume, constructed on similar lines. It will be evident, however, on a moment's consideration that the conditions in this case are less simple. It is very easy to reflect a general agreement in choosing the authors to be represented in a selection from American classic literature, and in the main to determine what choice should be made from their writings. But in any survey of the classic literature of England, Scotland, and Ireland, reaching back as it does into remote time, there is opportunity for much divergence of opinion as to the best selection to be made. The editor, seeking advice from many experienced teachers of English, has been governed by a few plain considerations. The space at his command had to be used frugally. The object to be kept in view was rather the agreeable introduction to great literature than drill in grammar or elocution. Hence it seemed desirable to proceed from the easy to the more difficult, and by a natural course this meant the ascent from the contemporary to the more remote.
