Excerpt from Prose That Every Child Should Know: A Selection of the Best Prose of All Times for Young People
This volume is a growth. It is the growth of a life-time, based on happy hours in School and Sunday school, Study-hours with great teachers, Debating Clubs, Teachers' meetings, and conferences with un worldly women and great men. It is the crystallization of Childhood's intense emotions when the big boys and girls, their faces aglow, spouted declamations; the recollections of Fourth of July celebrations when Gen eral Boyd made speeches and some loyal citizen read the Declaration of Independence, solemnly publishing and declaring anew that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent.
This book is the recalling of dear old lessons in United States History, when the war was inevitable, and We set up the war-whoop and dug up the toma hawk, and The birthday of the Father of his Coun try was ever freshly remembered by American hearts.

Excerpt from Prose That Every Child Should Know: A Selection of the Best Prose of All Times for Young People
It sometimes happens that there are people who do not know that authors and editors and the Titles of Books and Series are protected by copyright laws, and also by what is more binding, - Professional Courtesy. Since publishing "Poems Every Child Should Know," a very curious case of legal infringement and professional infringement has come up. There are some things that an editor can't do and be a gentleman. And another thing that an editor of books can't do is "to hustle" and "rush things into print." No valuable editor or author will do any work except from an inner leading, and out of a full heart and a full knowledge. He will do nothing on time, nor under superintendence; nor will he do for a new firm what he has already done for an old firm or anything that competes with any one.
Special permission has been obtained under the laws of courtesy, as well as the copyright laws, for each copyrighted selection in this volume, and the right to publish has been purchased, except in those cases where the author or the publisher has, for reasons of friendship, given the permission. In addition to business arrangements, we wish to extend our thanks and acknowledgments to those firms which have so kindly allowed us to use their material.
