Beard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 99.3 The Athenæum Press his volume agrees precisely with the previous one in ose and arrangement. It has, however, been neceson account of the ever-increasing diffuseness of the erial upon which we have had to draw, to resort more uently to condensation. Parliamentary speeches, state ers, pamphlets, books of travel, magazine articles, and tises on important phases of our modern life rarely d their best in the succinct form essential, considerthe space at our disposal. Moreover, with the class readers we have in view it seemed wise to avoid all ressions and obscure allusions which could hardly to increase the difficulties in the student's path. We we, however, always plainly indicated in the margin ose cases in which a speech, treaty, constitution, or tract from a book or article is "condensed" or "much ndensed." While we have struck out sentences and ragraphs where there was not space for them, and ey could be spared, we have only in the rarest instances entured to change a word, excepting always in the case I translations, which commonly solicit amelioration ther from the standpoint of sense or taste. The critcal student who suspects that he is missing something an always, by means of our Table of Contents and List of Citations, readily turn to the text upon which ve have relied. J. H. R.
