HER MAJESTY.

only in one or two very exceptional instances, as in
that lovely little idyllic trysting ditty--
I wandered by the brookside,
I wandered by the mill,
I did not hear the brook flow,
Its noisy wheel was still.
No burr of any grasshopper,
No song of any bird,
But the beating of my own heart
Was all tho sound I heard.
Or again, in that sweetest of child lullabies, every
verse of which ends with the singing to the
little girl of flower, or loaf, or bird, or but-
tern
Y—good night, gool night ! Known, and
honoured, and appreciated by a highly-culti-
vated audience,
as among the few gifted min-
strels of his time, Lord Houghton is entitled to a
far wider popularity than any he has hitherto had
the opportunity of enjoying. And, towards the
attainment of this extended appreciation of his gifts,
the issuing from the press of this graceful and, in
many ways, bewitching selection from his various
Poems, of their choicest portions, cannot fail, as we
conceive, to be directly and practically to the pur-
pose. In any case these two new volumes, or rather
v.olumettes, just added to the now fast-exteuditig
list
of Moxon's Miniature Poets, cannot but be
thrice welcome alike to the donors and the recipients
of Christmas Gifts—among which seasonable boons
none could well be more happily chosen than just
such choicest of choice selections as these from Alfred
Tennyson, Robert Browning, Frederick Locker, Sir
Walter Scott, or Richard Lord Houghton.

MOXON'S PENNY READINGS.
Various contributions to those popular intellec-
tual entertainments, known now more or less widely
throughout the United Kingdom as Penny Read-
ings, have been issued from the press within the last
year or two by one or other of our more enterprising
Publishers. There is that cheap series, for example,
compiled by Mr. J. E. Carpenter, and published,
if we remember rightly, in as many as five volumes
(one shilling each), by Frederick Warne and Com-
Pally, of Bedford-stret, Covent-grden. And
there is that larger series, a
published in a per form (according to the subscriber's pre-
ference, in either weekly numbers, or monthly
parts), the first half-yearly volume of which has only
recently been completed, edited by Tom Hood,
illustrated, profusely enough, by various artists, and
Published by the Messrs. Cassell, Petter, and Galpin.
Standing quite apart from these, interfering with
neither the one nor the other—Moxon's Penny
Readings, of which we have already some time since
noticed the first volume, possess two conspicuous
and distinctive excellencies of their own. They are
admirably well selected as a collection of Prose and
Verse, now grave, now gay, often lively, never severe;
and, besides this, in the mere printing of them,
they are as pleasantly legible as can be in the size
d clearness of the typography.
