POETS AND POETRY OF AMERICA.

TUSr published by CARY g. HART PhilaJeI-
y phla, The Poets and Poetry of America with an
Historical Introduction, by Rufus w Gri~wold in /
large octave volume, handsomely printed fine pa
per- and illustrated by portraits of Bryant, Sprague-
Longfellow, Dana, and Halleck, and a beautiful
vignelte.
This is the most valuable publication of the sea-
son. NO collection of American poetry has ever
been made at all comparable TO this whether re-
gard the completeness of the work or the taste dis
played in The selection. The work comprises seec-
lions from eighp-eight Of Poets whose produce
tons are Preficed by neat biographies; and in an
Appendix are contained selections from various Au-
thors who, without pretending TO the rank of Poets,
have yet written occasional verses. Where the poet
has published an edition of his own works, the seec-
lions are comparatively few but where the author
has this works ofhemseves the extracts
have been more youminous. This is praseworthy
feature, since IT preserves to in collected form the
works OF Whittier, Sprague, and Others. The long
est poems OF Drake, Srrague and Whittier appear in
tins collection We dismiss this national work with
the assurance that every American who loves his
countys muse will possess himself of an early copy
