-"I have examined with much care, and still great
er pleasure, and / trust, not a little pro1t, your
English Literature Of the Nineteenth Century y
1t is / believe the richea coleeft0n of gems tn
ouy language. There is nothing in 1t would omit,
and yet it is not too large for popular use Consld,
erine the very brief limits to which you were obliged
to confne yourself am surprised at the fanoss and
richness of your biographical details. Your most
difficult and deli ,ae task however was the critical
Judgment to be passed upon each author; and here
think you have been very discriminating
and Just and yet kind. But would feel that
whatever have said about the volume, however
true ought TO be considered as Of little worth could
not add--as 1 cheerfuy do--a stroag testimony to
its high moral tone and cminontly Christian spirit
The gencralrcader cannot fail to be interested, the
student proftcd, the scholar delighted, and the man
piety pleased with your English Literature Of the
Nineteenth Century
