EIGHT LECTURES GIVEN AT THE LOWELL BY BARRETT WENDELL Assistant Professor of English at Harvard College NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS 1899 HARVARD Copyright, 1891, University Press: JOHN WILSON AND SON, CAMBRIDGE. NOTE. Any THESE lectures were given at the Lowell Institute, Boston, in November and December, 1890. student of the subject will at once perceive my obligation to the textbooks of Professor A. S. Hill, Professor Bain, Professor Genung, and the late Professor McElroy. My excuse for offering a new treatment of the subject is that I have found none that seemed quite simple enough for popular reading. B. W. BOSTON, September, 1891. |
