About this book
Why We Should Read is by S. P. B. Mais, author of Books and Their Writers. The contents list a part headed Some English Classics, with Tom Jones, Wuthering Heights, Charles Lamb, James Boswell and William Hazlitt among its entries.
The book describes a performance of Hamlet in the eighteenth century with Partridge as critic, preferring Claudius to the rest of the actors because he spoke louder, and objecting to the gravediggers because of their lack of skill. A summary describes a man: the conflict in his mind affected his preaching powers adversely, and Mabel was furious with him, but he continued his irregular ministry. A discussion of the first Act of a work says that we see the return of a lady heavily burdened with debts to her estate in South Russia, that it is the month of May and the cherry orchard is in full blossom, and that the lady, Ranievskaia, is a child in financial matters.
