POETS AND POETRY OF AMERICA

y The Poets and Poetry of America, with an His
torical Introduction, by Rufus w. Griswod, in
large octave volume, handsomely printed fine
paper and illustrated by portraits of Bryant sprague
Longfellow Dana, and Halleck, and beautiful
vignette
'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
gard the completeness of the work. the taste dis
played in the selection. The work comprises selec
tons from Lightweight of Poets, whose produc-
tons prefaced by neat biographies and in an
Appendix are contained selections from various Au-
tbors who, without pretending to the rank of Poets,
have yet written occasional verses. Where the poet
has published an edition of his works, the scecs
tons comparatively few but where the author
has left his works to take of themselves the
tracts have been more volumnous. This is praise
worthy feature, since preserves for in a collected
form, the works of Whittier, Sprague, and others.
The longest poems of Drake, Sprague, and Whittier
appear in this collection We dismiss this national
work with the assurance, that every American who
loves his country's muse, will possess himself of an
