"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 re-
gard the completeness of the work, the taste dis
played in the selection. The work comprises seec
tons from Lightweight of Poets, whose produc-
tons are preiaccd by neat biographies and in an
Appendix are contained selections from various Au-
hnDr ,,". ~ifh"t prsteoasnx the Poot-.
has published an edition OF HIS works ssf.of
tions comparatively few but where the author
has left his works to take of themselves, the
tracts have been volumnous. This is praise
worthy feature, since it preserves for us 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
early copy. "-Sat,lrddy Post.
