Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Pictorial Reader: Compiled From the Most Approved Authorities, and Calculated to Combine Amusement With Instruction
How vivid, how enduring the effect of those touches of the graphic art, which first arrested the schoolboy's attention, almost every reader of advanced years can testify. But the pupil of (former days could not, under ordinary circumstances, receive such aids as are now at his command. The rude embellishments, if the word be not a misnomer, given in school books thirty or forty years ago, were but ill calculated to convey real know ledge, or to form a correct taste; and it would have been impossible to present such an assemblage of pictorial representations as are now submitted, but at an expense which the affluent alone could meet.

Excerpt from The Pictorial Reader: Compiled From the Most Approved Authorities, and Calculated to Combine Amusement With Instruction
To please the juvenile, and, possibly, to refresh the maturer mind by interesting narratives, lively anecdotes, and specimens of elegant and touching poetry, is that to which the compiler aspires; while purity is never lost sight of for a moment.
