From, Georgs B. Emerson, Esq, Of Boston
"I have examined your English Literature of the
Nineteenth Century and like it exceedingly 1t
is extremely well and fairly done. The Biographical
notices are Just and discriminating and, while they
are long enough to crafty the curiosity we have to
know something of author they are so spirited MS
TO awaken q desire to know more The selections
are admirable. i have adopted the work as a text
hook for my first class, every individual OF which IS
now preparing under its guidance, to give fuiier
account Of the writings Of some one chosen author

81 have examined with much care, and still great
er pleasure, and, trust, not little proht, your

Ii is L believe the RICHEST cofierfiOn Of gems sa
ony Language. There is nothing in 1t would omit,
and vet 1t is not too large for popmfor use Consid
orne the very brief limits to which you were Obliged
to confne yourself surprised at the fulness and
richness Of your biographical details Your most
difficult and delicate task, however, was the critical
Judgment to be passed. upon each authors and here
Il think you have been very happy--discrminating
and Just, and yet kind. But would feel that
whatever I have said about tho volume, however
true ought to be considered of little worth, could
not add-as checrfully do-a stro q testimony 70
its high moral tone and eminently Christian spirit.
The general reader cannot fail to be interested the
student pro6tcd the scholar delighted and the man
Of piety pleased with your English Literature OF the
Nineteenth Century"
