y The Poets and Poetry of America, with an His
torical Introduction, by Rufus w. Griswod, in one
large octave volume handsomely printed fine
paper and illustrated by portraits of Bryant Sprague
Longfellow, Dana, and Halleck, and beautiful
vgnette
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 re-
gard the completeness of the work, the taste dis
played in the selection. The work comprises selec
tions from lightweight of our Poets, whose produc
tons are prefaced by neat biographies; and in all
Appendix contained selections from various Au-
thors who, without pretending to the rank of Poets
have yet written occasional verses. Where the poet
hiss published edition of his own works, the selec
tons comparatively few but where the author
has left his works to take Of themselves the
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 country's muse, will possess himself of an
early copy. ''-Sat,rday Post.
