POETS AND POETRY OF AMERICA.

TUST published By CARY g. HART, Philadel-
a phia, The Poets and Poetry of America with
Historical Introduction, by RUFUS w Griswold in /
large octave volume, handsomely printed fine pa
per, and illustrated by portraits of Bryant, Sprague-
Longfellow, Dana, and Halieck, and a beautiful
vignete.
This is the most valuable publication of the sea-
son. No collection of American poetry has ever
been made at ali comparable to this, whether re-
gard the completeness of the work or the taste dis
played in the selection. The work comprises seiec-
lions from eightpeight of Poets, whose produce
lions are prefaced 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 edition of his works the seioc-
tons are comparatively few; hut where the author
has left his works othemselves the extracts
have been more vouminous. This is praiseworthy
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
this collection. We dismiss this national work with
the assurance that every American who loves bis
countrys muse will possess himself Of early copy
