Commercial Press New English Readers, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Commercial Press New English Readers, Vol. 1 In the selection of the material the compiler endeavoured to suit the mental requirements of the Chinese students, who are comparatively matured before beginning to study English. Hence childish descrip tions of familiar objects, animals, etc., have been omitted, while inventions, discoveries, biographies, historical facts, etc., have been introduced. A peculiar feature about this series is that about twenty-five per cent of the reading matter deals with Chinese life.
