Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A New Reading Note-Book: Comprising Explanatory Notes, Questions and Suggestions for Study, Biographical Notes and Reading Lists, Pronouncing List, and Other Material, Designed for Use in Connection With the Howe Readers
I am sure that a man ought to read as he would grasp a nettle; do it lightly, and you get molested; grasp it with all your strength and you feel none of its asperities. There is nothing so horrible as languid study, when you sit looking at the clock, wishing the time was over, or that somebody would call on you and put you out of your misery. The only way to read with any efficacy is to read so heartily that dinner-time comes two hours before you 1 expected it.
