This edition of a familiar and ever-delightful classic of the stage is intended to satisfy two current demands in the teaching of secondary English. It will make available for school use the most successful and the most important, historically, of Goldsmith's plays. It will thus afford to pupils and teachers a wider field of choice, to suit their various and varying tastes. It will also provide material for the more reasoned study of its period and its type. All who read Macaulay's " Johnson", or the "Selections" from Boswell, or Burke's "Speech on Conciliation", or Thackeray's "English Humorists", as well as those who wish a text illustrative of Johnson's period in the history of English literature or English drama, will here find their needs supplied
