Literary landmarks : a guide to good reading for young people, and teachers' assistant : with a carefully selected list of seven hundred books
A late nineteenth-century Boston reading guide by Mary E. Burt, published 1897 by Houghton, Mifflin, for young readers and their teachers, arranging literary works in chains and graded lists. The pictures are plain line diagrams of linked chains and grade-by-grade plans, with text set in columns and rotated labels, useful to a designer for chain or timeline layouts and for hand-lettered sequential structure.
