Download or read book The Heart of Oak Books Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Charles Eliot Norton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heart of Oak Books, Vol. 1 A taste for good reading is an acquisition the worth of which is hardly to be overestimated; and yet a majority Of children, even of those favored by circumstance, grow up without it. This defect is due partly to the fault or ignorance Of parents and teachers; partly, also, to the want, in many cases, of the proper means of cultivation. For this taste, like most others, is usually not so much a gift of nature as a product of cultivation. A wide difference exists, indeed, in chil dren in respect to their natural inclination for reading, but there are few in whom it cannot be more or less developed by careful and judicious training. This training should begin very early. Even before the child has learned the alphabet, his mother's lullaby or his nurse's song may have begun the attuning of his ear to the melodies of verse, and the quickening of his mind with pleasant fancies. As he grows older, his first reading should be made attractive to him by its ease and entertainment. The reading lesson should never be hard or dull; nor should it be made the occasion for instruction in any specific branch of knowl edge. The essential thing is that in beginning to learn to read the child should like what he reads or hears read, and that the matter should be of a sort to fix itself in his mind without wearisome effort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heart of Oak: A Three-Stranded Yarn I was in the drawing-room of my father's house on the afternoon of that day, awaiting the arrival Of Captain Burke, of the ship Lady Emma, ' and his wife, Mary Burke, who had nursed me and brought me up, and indeed been as a mother to me after my own mother's death in 1854 but she had left us to marry Captain Edward Burke, and had already made two voyages round the world with him, and was presently going a third. My father sat beside the fire reading a newspaper. His name was Sir Mortimer Otway he was fourth baronet and a colonel; had seen service in India, though he had long left the army to settle down upon his little seaside estate. He was a man of small fortune. Having said this, I need not trouble you with more of his family history. I was his only surviving child, and my name is Marie I have no other Christian name than that it was my mother's. My age was twenty and my health delicate, so much so that Captain and Mrs. Burke were coming from London expressly to talk over a scheme of my going round the world in their ship for the benefit Of my appetite and Spirits and voice, and perhaps for my lungs, though to be sure they were still sound at that date.
