POETS AND POETRY OF AMERICA.

lust published by CARY g. HART, PhiladeI-
y phia, The Poets and Poetry of America With IN
Historical Introduction, by Rufus w Griswold in
large octave volume, handsomely printed on fine pa
per- and illustrated by portraits of Bryant, Sprague-
Longfeow, Dana, and Halleck, and beautiful
yignette.
"This is the mos, valuable publication of the sea-
son. No collection Of American poetry has ever
been made a, ali comparable TO this, whether we re-
gard the completeness of the work or the taste dis
played in The selection The work comprises selec-
tons from eighp-eight of our Poets, whose produc-
lions are preficed by neat biogr aphies; and in
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 edition of his works, the selec-
tons are comparatively few but where the author
has left his works ofthemselves tho extract
have been more vouminous. This is a praisew oIthy
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
countrys muse will possess himself of early copy
