This work has been done so well that it could hardly have been done better. It shows throughout knowledge, taste, discriminating judgment, and, what is rarer and of yet higher value, a sympathetic appreciation of the poet’s moods and purposes. * * * The peculiarities of Shakespeare’s style are pointed out and elucidated; his allusions are explained; his singular use of words, and moods and tenses and cases, is remarked upon; and the archaic and transitional phraseology which is found in many passages of his plays are made the occasion of instructive but unpedantic comment.—N. Y. Times.

Harper’s Cyclopædia of British and American Poetry.Cyclopædia of British and American Poetry. Edited by Epes Sargent.

Illuminated Cloth, with Colored Edges, $4.50; Half Leather, $5.00.
Mr. Sargent has shown the knowledge and the skill that might have been expected from so well-read and so accomplished a writer; he has shown a catholicity as well as a sureness of taste; he has proceeded on what seems to me the true principle of arrangement, that of chronology; he has made his selections as full as he could consistently with the multitude to be selected from, neither rejecting old ones because they were old, nor accepting new ones because they were new, but earnestly aiming in both cases to represent the great body of British and American poets at their best, and their best only; and he has felt the natural demand of its readers for information concerning it and its authors—an imperative demand which he has fulfilled with a thoroughness that is honorable to his scholarship, and with a modesty that is honorable to his genius. That such a work as this might have been done differently I can see; that it could have been done better I do not see at all.—R. H. Stoddard, in The Critic, N. Y.
The special value of this collection is in the fact that it expresses the taste and feeling of one of the most cultured men of this generation, who, with a poet’s sensibility, spent his whole life in the companionship and atmosphere of books
