PREFACE.
rr^HE aim ofthis book is to supply easy stories illustrat-
ing the elementary principles of the Simple and
Compound sentence. Short selections from the Public
School Primer (for permission to use which I am indebted
to the Eev. Canon Kennedy) are printed atthe head ofthe
Notes to each Part : explanation of these is left to the
master. The Geographical and Historical Notes are very
brief, as they are intended for boys who are not likelyto
beacquaintedwith Ancient History. I am greatlyindebted
to my friend ]\Ir. Arthur Sidgwick for most valuable and
constant help, and for his kindness in revising the whole
work. I have also to thank the Eev. F. D. Morice for
connections in the text, and Mr. J, S. Phillpotts, Head
MasterofBedford School, for somemostuseful suggestions.
Most of these stories are adapted from an old translationof
Herodotusby Schweighaeuser.
