POETS AND POETRY OF AMERICA.

JUST published by CARY s. HART, Phiadel-
- phia, The Poets and Poetry of America, with an
Historical Introduction by Rufus w. Griswod, in
large octave volume, handsomely printed fine pa
per, and illustrated by portraits of Bryant Sprague
Longfellow, Dana and Halleck, and beautiful
vIgnette.
"This is the most valuable publication Of the sea-
No collection of American poetry has ever
been made at all comparable to this, whether re-
gard the completeness of the work the taste dis
played in the selection. The work comprises seec-
tons from eightp-eight of our Poets whose produce
lions are pref'ced 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-
tons are comparatively few; but where the author
has left his works ,akecare ofhemseIves the extracts
have been more youuinous. This is praise WI Ithy
feature, since it preserves TO in collected form the
works of Whittier, Sprague and others. The long
est poems of Drake, SPrague and Whittier, appear in
this collection We dismiss this national work with
the assurance that every American who loves his
countTys muse will possess himself of early copy
