    Advanced Language Lessons

     

    This edition of Advanced Language Lessons is an edited republished edition of Aldine Third Language Book,  which was originally published in 1917.


    Emma Serl never wrote an advanced book to follow her Primary and Intermediate Language Lessons. Seeing a need for such a book, Lost Classics Book Company asked Mary Jane Newcomer, author of the Teacher’s Guides for both Primary Language Lessons and Intermediate Language Lessons, for her recommendation for an advanced lesson book.

     

    Mary Jane is a qualified teacher with experience in homeschooling, and is thoroughly knowledgable of the content of Serl’s books. She chose this book as an appropriate follow up for advanced students, being from about the same period and with content well-suited to advance the lessons in the previous Language Lessons books. The text has been updated and edited only where necessary. This book is intended for students aged 13 to 16 and will be especially helpful for those who have completed Emma Serl’s Intermediate Language Lessons.

    G. A Henty is a "Victorian literary phenomenon whose 144 books and myriad short stories have long enthralled adults and children alike."—George Grant
    G. A Henty’s specialty was combining history and fiction for children. In A Tale of the Western Plains the nineteenth century author crafts an exciting adventure story drawing on real life cowboy stories. "In treating cowboy life," Henty tells us, "indeed, it may well be said that truth is stranger than fiction." The result: a can’t-put-it-down story that transports children back to the early days of the Wild West.
    Five hundred dollars reward. The above sum will be paid by James Campbell, attorney, San Francisco, to any one who will give him information as to the whereabouts of William Tunstall, who was last heard of four years ago in California.
    A simple ad in a Sacramento paper. A simple ad that changes Bill Tunstall’s life and the life of his young nephew, Hugh.
    From California during the Gold Rush to the English countryside and its landed gentry and back to America’s vast land of cowboys and Indians, Henty’s riproaring story follows Hugh Tunstall’s exploits from England to the American West. Hugh’s exploits in America start in Texas where the lawlessness of the West rears its ugly head. Working on a cattle ranch…fighting Indians…chasing kidnappers all play a part in Hugh’s escapades in the West.
    Bonus! This book includes a Build-Your-Vocabulary Glossary of some 430 words and definitions. Each word is cross-referenced with its page number so children can easily go back and see how it is used in the story.
