Excerpt from The Lyceum Guide: A Collection of Songs, Hymns, and Chants, Lessons, Readings, and Recitations, Marches and Calisthenics (With Illustrations), Together With Programmes and Exercises for Special Occasions, the Whole Designed for the Use of Progressive Sunday LyceumsIN issuing the lyceum guide, we have no other apology to make, than that we have, as practical workers in the Lyceum, felt its need. The numerous responses to our published card, from conductors and others interested in this movement, assure us that this want is generally experienced.In the working of a Lyceum, a book is demanded containing plain directions for its establishment, its calisthenics and marching, music, lessons, and recitations, and yet of moderate size, and cheap enough to be within the reach of every child as well as adult member. It has been our aim to produce such a book, so plain in all its di rections, that, wherever a Lyceum is desired, it will furnish all required information, and those who are to act as officers can, by its assistance, go forward without the ex pense attending the procuring of an individual already versed in the methods of organ ization. The size of the guide gives small indication of the labor expended on its pages. The editor of our Musical Department is the prince of ballad-singers, and has a national fame as author of some of the best sacred, patriotic, and pathetic songs in our language. Many of his finest compositions appear in our work, never before having been published except in sheet form.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
