Excerpt from Talks and Lectures

It is the Object Of this reading course to outline a systematic course Of reading in these New England classics beginning with those concerning whose preeminence there can be no question and suggesting lines of work from these as a starting point which shall cover the entire field Of classic New England literature. Since we are not yet far enough removed in time from these master pieces to determine with accuracy which are supreme classics and which are not, we have been compelled to base our selection upon the judg ment of the best contemporary authority Obtain able.

It should be constantly in the mind Of the reader that these six classics, with the suggestions and helps for studying them, form only the starting point for a course of reading in the American masterpieces. He who has completed only the six has but entered the portal of the subject. It is an inspiring and helpful thought that with every true classic completed with diligence and thought fulness one has added to his love of the beautiful.
