POETS AND POETRY OF AMERICA.

TUST published by CARY s. HART, Philadelphia.
y The Poets and Poetry of America with an His
torcal Introduction, by Rufus w. Grswold in one
large octave volume, handsomely printed on 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 we
gard the completeness of the work or the t. ste dis
played in the selection The work comprises selec-
uons from Lightweight of our Poets whose produce
tons are prefaced by neat biographies 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
HIS published edition of his works, the seec
tons comparatively few but where the author
has left his works to take of themselves the
tracts have been volnminous. This is praise
worthy feature, since preserves for in 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 counry's muse, will possess himself of an
early copy. Saturday Post.
