For years there has been a steady and growing demand, particularly in our schools, for suitable recitations and readings, until at the present time the books published expressly to meet this want constitute a literature in themselves. While teachers and pupils are on the lookout for the best miscellaneous collections, they will do wisely to consult these two little books, which embody some of the freshest and most popular pieces to be anywhere found. They also incorporate some of the older standard pieces that are always in demand, and exclude everything that is not eminently appropriate either for declamation or public reading. --The School Journal, Vol. 29
