Publisher's Blurb: "This series is made up principally of standard classics in general use in the schools. They are carefully edited by experienced teachers of English and helpfully annotated. The notes are ample for necessary aid in interpretation but not so copious as to discourage original inquiry. Biographical sketches and outlines for study are included, as indicated. The books are well printed on good paper--bound in either heavy paper or flexible cloth covers--moderate in price. The first price given after each book is for heavy paper binding; the second is for flexible cloth."
Notes / Commentary: The original LeBlanc listing did not include titles for Nos. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16-18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50-58, 60, 62, 64, 66, and 68. No even-numbered titles have been observed in this series, so it is possible that the listing is complete.
