Canada Publishing Company, Toronto, 1916, reprint.  Hard cover, 314 pages including Appendices.  Green cloth with black lettering on front and spine; some corner, spine and edge wear; some rubs/spots/soil on boards; binding sound.  Interior clean and unmarked with lightly tanned pages and occasional age spot.  ‘As the book is intended for the teaching of oral reading it contains an introductory chapter on the Principles of Reading, and selections for practice, with appended notes.  An effort has also been made to grade the selections in the order of their difficulty.  Accordingly, a number of selections, each illustrating in a marked degree only one, or at most two, of the various elements of Vocal Expression, have been placed at the beginning; these should, of course, be taught before the more complex selections are attempted.’ (from Preface)
