This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ...of narration is simply to produce in the reader's mind images of a series of real or imaginary events, and to comment, if necessary, on their cause, importance, or relation to each other. The reader, with the eye of the imagination, sees what the narrator says has taken place, much as if he were watching the ever-changing pictures of a kinetoscope.

The value and the interest of good narrative depend upon our understanding clearly (i) who the persons were who did such and such things; (2) under what circumstances of cause or effect or environment they did them; (3) what were the things which they did. 26. The Actors.--It is important, in almost any narrative, that we should have a clear impression of the character, and often of the appearance, of those who take part in it.
