ROSE & SONS, Entered according to Act of Parliament of CanadiV, iu the year one thou-^and eight hundred and ei^'hty seven, by HuNTER, Kose & (Jo., at the Depart- ment of Agriculture. — PREFACE. In presenting the comj^lete annotation of the High School Reader, the author has to thank his fellow-teachers in the Public Schools, High Schools, and Collegiate Institutes for the cordial reception accorded to the pioneer volume of Notes on some of the selections, issued a few months ago; and he trusts that the now ccmipleted edition will be found as useful a joreparation for the class-room as its predecessor has proved to be. As to the general plan followed in these Notes, little need be added to what was announced in that little brochure: ) is ' ' as a ( 1 It not intended that the Notes should be regarded substitute for careful instruction by the teacher, and still less for careful preparation by the 2:)upil in each extract of the Reader. All that is aimed at is to put the student in possession of such information as will enable him to enter on an intelligent study of the passage under consideration; hence the annotatorhas carefully avoided the common i:)ractices of tabulating statements, and labeling, or libeling, the authors with cut and dried quota- tions of the opinions of the critics. He has not, however, consci- ously avoided the discussion of anything that seemed to him at all likely to cause serious diflficulty to an ordinary student, nor has he adopted the easy plan of slurring over an obscurity by means of a question more easily asked than answered. (2) An effort has been made to present such Biographical Sketches, at least of the more important authors, as would inspire the student with a living interest in the subject of the sketch. Nothing is related of any author except such incidents as seemed - to bear directly either on the formation of his character or of his style; and wherever it seemed advisable to guide the student to a fair estimate of his author, such clues have been thrown out as a])peiared most likely to answer the purpose. (3) The well-read teacher will no doubt detect many points in wijdoli the critical estimate here given differs, and in some cases wideilji, from the average estimate of the jsrofessional critics—e.g. Rs to 1 he literary value of the laureate odes of Tennyson—but if these divergences from the too well lieaten path serve no other purpose, they may at least help the pupils to understand that the IV PREFACE. chains of mere authority may be too galling, and that in literary criticism, as in all other branches of human learning, the grand desideratum is that each should learn to think for himself, and be able to give a reason for the faith that is in him. (4) If the pupil has been very frequently warned against the sceptical tendency of much of our verse of to-day, it is not only because it seemed well to guard thoughtless readers against the subtlety of Agnostic poison, but because, from a purely Uterary view, it seemed that the baleful influence of the new No-creed is Hkely to be as fatal to poetry as to morals and religion. (5) It ought not to be necessary to offer any apologies for the introduction of so much Etymological matter into the notes. Surely the time has come when we ought to make an effort to lift our more advanced pupils, and especially those who are about to become teachers of others, out of the worn rut of mere Latin and Greek roots, and to let them see that their language, the noblest and most useful that has yet been developed among men, belongg to an immense family of languages, of which Latin and Greek are but humble members. It will be noticed that wherever the Ety- mology clearly pointed to an Anglo-Saxon root, this has been given to the exclusion frequently of the other forms in which the same root appears iu cognate dialects; this has been done partly to avoid unnecessary detail, partly in order not to impose too severe a task on the memory of the student. For the same reason the anno- tator has, excejjt in a very few instances, shunned the temptation, to which his early studies exposed him, of referring words in our language back to the Sanscrit roots in which most words in the Aryan languages occur in their most ancient, and therefore piirest forms. The imperative necessity of economising space must be accepted as the reason for the neglect of aU " paragraph laws," in the Bio- graphies, sepecially; though, after all, there is no very deep moral obliquity involved in even the utter ignoring of these and similar fabrications of the theoretical grammarians. In conclusion, any suggestions for the improvement of these notes will be thankfully received by the publishers and the author. K. DAWSON. Sigh School, Weston, Sept., 1887. NOTiUS OS THE HIGH SCHOOL READER. FROM THE FIEST BOOK OF KINGS. King Solomon's Prayeb and Blessing. —Extract I., page 33. Introfluctor) Skelcli.—The Books of Kings are so called because they relate the history of th'^ Kings of Israel and Judah from the time of Solomon (c. 1015 B.C.), tiU the final dissolution of the kingdoms and downfall of the state,—a period of four hun- dred and fifty-five years. They are evidently compiled from older and more voluminous records, more than one editor, in all proba- bihty, having been engaged in the compilation ; but by whom these old records were dicested into their present form is not known. A Jewish tradition ascribes the work to Jeremiah ; while others attri- bute it to Isaiah, and still others to Ezra. Space would not permit a full discussion of the subject here ; nor, indeed, would this be a suitable place for such a discussion. In the original the two Books of Kings formed only one book, as was the case also with the Bookf of Samuel ; the di\dsion being made in each case by the translators who prepared the Septuagint, or old Greek version. These transla- tors gave the title Books of Reigns, or Kingdoms, to the works known in modern versions as the Books of Samuel and Books of Kings, the latter forming the third and fourth books of the series. It would have been a more artistic sub-division had they arranged the Kings in three books, corresponding to the three periods covered by the events described : —1, narrating the history of the reign of Solo- mon ; 2, the histories of the separated kingdoms of Judah and Israel ; 3, the history of Judah, after the disruption of Israel. The historical credibility and value of the Books of Kings is attested by strong external and internal evidence, and they have in all ages been regarded as strictly canonical both by the Jewish and the Christian churches, (The absence of notes on this extract and the one immediately following it will be readily excused by those who do not beHeve that the Bible should be made the vehicle for the communicatior of secular knowledge in the school-room.) — 2 ISAIAB. ISAIAH. Invitation.—Extract 11., page 39. In'roduefory ^k<-tcli.—^Nothing is reaiiy known, much liaa been it r;or.iouslj conjectured about the parentage and history of Isaiah, the first in order of the four Greater Projahets. Even his personabty has been denied by some writers, who would have it that the l)ook of Isaiah is merely a compilation of isolated and scat- tered prophecies, collected and arranged during the Captivity at Babylon. This position has been vigorously and successfully at- tacked by Hengstenberg, Lee, Jahn, and others ; but we cannot here discuss the merits of the question. He prophesied during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah ; and from the fre- quency of his predictions concerning the Messiah, he has beoji called tho Evangelical prophet. A Je\\ash tradition asserts that he was sawTi asunder by order of Manasseh ; but, needless to say, the story is a very doubtful one, and ia fact we know as little of the manner of his death as we do of his mode of life. His style is marked by the absence of all straining after effect, but is lofty and well sustained throughout, possessing in its perfection all the har- mony and grace of the old-time Hebrew poetry. Pre-eminent among the sacred poets of antiquity are Job, David, and Isaiah ; Job excelling in strength of description, and David in tenderness, while Isaiah transcends not only these but all other poets in sub- limity. In many respects he resembles Homer; but even Homer is far surpassed in dignity and grandeur, both of conception and expression, by the Hebrew poet. Com^jaring the writings of the four Greater Prophets, we observe that Jeremiah is distinguished by the yearning tenderness and plaintive melody with which he treats subjects of a mournful, elegiac character; Ezekiel blazes forth Avith an uncommon energy and ardour, denouncing God's judgments with a fiery earnestness too truculent to admit of poetic grace and elegance; Daniel pours forth his soul in humble prayer, and offers the pious thanks of a grateful heart in language of tlifl utmost plainness and directness ; Isaiah chooses magnificent themes, and clothes his grand ideas in n majestic diction peculiar to him- self.

  • Gerard Manley Hopkins' Diacritics: a Corpus Based Study
    Gerard Manley Hopkins’ Diacritics: A Corpus Based Study by Claire Moore-Cantwell This is my difficulty, what marks to use and when to use them: they are so much needed, and yet so objectionable.1 ~Hopkins 1. Introduction In a letter to his friend Robert Bridges, Hopkins once wrote: “... my apparent licences are counterbalanced, and more, by my strictness. In fact all English verse, except Milton’s, almost, offends me as ‘licentious’. Remember this.”2 The typical view held by modern critics can be seen in James Wimsatt’s 2006 volume, as he begins his discussion of sprung rhythm by saying, “For Hopkins the chief advantage of sprung rhythm lies in its bringing verse rhythms closer to natural speech rhythms than traditional verse systems usually allow.”3 In a later chapter, he also states that “[Hopkins’] stress indicators mark ‘actual stress’ which is both metrical and sense stress, part of linguistic meaning broadly understood to include feeling.” In his 1989 article, Sprung Rhythm, Kiparsky asks the question “Wherein lies [sprung rhythm’s] unique strictness?” In answer to this question, he proposes a system of syllable quantity coupled with a set of metrical rules by which, he claims, all of Hopkins’ verse is metrical, but other conceivable lines are not. This paper is an outgrowth of a larger project (Hayes & Moore-Cantwell in progress) in which Kiparsky’s claims are being analyzed in greater detail. In particular, we believe that Kiparsky’s system overgenerates, allowing too many different possible scansions for each line for it to be entirely falsifiable. The goal of the project is to tighten Kiparsky’s system by taking into account the gradience that can be found in metrical well-formedness, so that while many different scansion of a line may be 1 Letter to Bridges dated 1 April 1885.

  • The Poetry Handbook I Read / That John Donne Must Be Taken at Speed : / Which Is All Very Well / Were It Not for the Smell / of His Feet Catechising His Creed.)
    Introduction his book is for anyone who wants to read poetry with a better understanding of its craft and technique ; it is also a textbook T and crib for school and undergraduate students facing exams in practical criticism. Teaching the practical criticism of poetry at several universities, and talking to students about their previous teaching, has made me sharply aware of how little consensus there is about the subject. Some teachers do not distinguish practical critic- ism from critical theory, or regard it as a critical theory, to be taught alongside psychoanalytical, feminist, Marxist, and structuralist theor- ies ; others seem to do very little except invite discussion of ‘how it feels’ to read poem x. And as practical criticism (though not always called that) remains compulsory in most English Literature course- work and exams, at school and university, this is an unwelcome state of affairs. For students there are many consequences. Teachers at school and university may contradict one another, and too rarely put the problem of differing viewpoints and frameworks for analysis in perspective ; important aspects of the subject are omitted in the confusion, leaving otherwise more than competent students with little or no idea of what they are being asked to do. How can this be remedied without losing the richness and diversity of thought which, at its best, practical criticism can foster ? What are the basics ? How may they best be taught ? My own answer is that the basics are an understanding of and ability to judge the elements of a poet’s craft. Profoundly different as they are, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Pope, Dickinson, Eliot, Walcott, and Plath could readily converse about the techniques of which they are common masters ; few undergraduates I have encountered know much about metre beyond the terms ‘blank verse’ and ‘iambic pentameter’, much about form beyond ‘couplet’ and ‘sonnet’, or anything about rhyme more complicated than an assertion that two words do or don’t.

  • Poetry: Why? Even Though a Poem May Be Short, Most of the Time You Can’T Read It Fast
    2.1. Poetry: why? Even though a poem may be short, most of the time you can’t read it fast. It’s like molasses. Or ketchup. With poetry, there are so many things to take into consideration. There is the aspect of how it sounds, of what it means, and often of how it looks. In some circles, there is a certain aversion to poetry. Some consider it outdated, too difficult, or not worth the time. They ask: Why does it take so long to read something so short? Well, yes, it is if you are used to Twitter, or not used to poetry. Think about the connections poetry has to music. Couldn’t you consider some of your favorite lyrics poetry? 2Pac, for example, wrote a book of poetry called The Rose that Grew from Concrete. At many points in history across many cultures, poetry was considered the highest form of expression. Why do people write poetry? Because they want to and because they can… (taking the idea from Federico García Lorca en his poem “Lucía Martínez”: “porquequiero, y porquepuedo”) You ask yourself: Why do I need to read poetry? Because you are going to take the CLEP exam. Once you move beyond that, it will be easier. Some reasons why we write/read poetry: • To become aware • To see things in a different way • To put together a mental jigsaw puzzle • To move the senses • To provoke emotions • To find order 2.2. Poetry: how? If you are not familiar with poetry, you should definitely practice reading some before you take the exam.

  • The Phonology of Classical Arabic Meter Chris Golston & Tomas Riad 1
    The Phonology of Classical Arabic Meter Chris Golston & Tomas Riad 1. Introduction* Traditional analysis of classical Arabic meter is based on the theory of al-Xalı#l (†c.791 A.D.), the famous lexicographist, grammarian and prosodist. His elaborate circle system remains directly influential in theories of metrics to this day, including the generative analyses of Halle (1966), Maling (1973) and Prince (1989). We argue against this tradition, showing that it hides a number of important generalizations about Arabic meter and violates a number of fundamental principles that regulate metrical structure in meter and in natural language. In its place we propose a new analysis of Arabic meter which draws directly on the iambic nature of the language and is responsible to the metrical data in a way that has not been attempted before. We call our approach Prosodic Metrics and ground it firmly in a restrictive theory of foot typology (Kager 1993a) and constraint satisfaction (Prince & Smolensky 1993). The major points of our analysis of Arabic meter are as follows: 1. Metrical positions are maximally bimoraic. 2. Verse feet are binary. 3. The most popular Arabic meters are iambic. We begin with a presentation of Prosodic Metrics (§2) followed by individual analyses of the Arabic meters (§3). We then turn to the relative popularity of the meters in two large published corpora, relating frequency directly to rhythm (§4). We then argue against al Xalı#l’s analysis as formalized in Prince 1989 (§5) and end with a brief conclusion (§6). 2. Prosodic Metrics We base our theory of meter on the three claims in (1), which we jointly refer to as Binarity.

At 10 Oclock a.m. I started for Mr. Schutte’s silver mine of Orcopampa, my party was rather numerous; it consisted of course of myself on mule back with a led beast for change, the muleteer Delgado, his lad Mateo, both mounted, an Indian guide on foot named Condor, and seven mules laden with various articles for the mine as well as some provisions for myself, two or three fowls, half a sheep, potatoes, bread, salt, and sugar, also some sperm candles, and a metal candlestick. The mules carried each a load from eight to nine arrobes, besides four arrobes the weight of the gear and trappings. I may as well say en passant that I carried the above various articles of food because I had been assured that on this route I should find few eatables. I, accustomed to the ways and habits of the Sierra, saw nothing particular in the costume of my companion, nevertheless I will describe it, the muleteers wore ordinary woollen trowsers, and jackets, a woollen poncho over the shoulders, Chilian boots to the legs, shoes to their feet, but with only a single spur, on the principle that if one side of the animal moved the other could not be left behind; their head covering was a Guayaquil straw hat, underneath it Delgado wore a woollen cap, also round his neck a piece [_] jerga, for the purpose of blind folding his beasts when loading [_] a second piece round his waist the two ends of which [_] [3] and preserved his trowsers.

  • Summerhill Is the Most Unusual School in the World. Here's a Place Where
    Summerhill is the most unusual school in the world. Here’s a place where children are not compelled to go to class – they can stay away from lessons for years, if they want to. Yet, strangely enough, the boys and girls in this school LEARN! In fact, being deprived of lessons turns out to be a severe punishment. Summerhill has been run by A. S . Neill for almost forty years. This is the world’s greatest experiment in bestowing unstinted love and approval on children. This is the place, where one courageous man, backed by courageous parents, has had the fortitude to actually apply – without reservation – the principles of freedom and non- repression. The school runs under a true children’s government where the “bosses” are the children themselves. Despite the common belief that such an atmosphere would create a gang of unbridled brats, visitors to Summerhill are struck by the self-imposed discipline of the pupils, by their joyousness, the good manners. These kids exhibit a warmth and lack of suspicion toward adults, which is the wonder, and delight of even official British school investigators. In this book A. S. Neill candidly expresses his unique - and radical – opinions on the important aspects of parenthood and child rearing. These strong commendations of authors and educators attest that every parent who reads this book will find in it many examples of how Neill’s philosophy may be applied to daily life situations. Educators will find Neill’s refreshing viewpoints practical and inspiring. Reading this book is an exceptionally gratifying experience, for it puts into words the deepest feelings of all who care about children, and wish to help them lead happy, fruitful lives.
