From George B. Emerson Esq, Of Boston.
III have examined your English Literature Of the

is extremely well and fairly done Tho biographical
notices are Just and discriminating and, while they
long enough to gratify the curiosity We have %
to awaken . desire to know more. The selections
are admirable have adopted the work as q taxi

From Req. B. p. AydslottS d. d., Of Cincinnati
1T have examined with much care, and still great
er pleasure, and, trust not little pront, your
English Literature Of the Nineteenth Century. =
It believe, the richest collection Of gems On
ossv language. There is nothing in it would omit,
and yet it is not too large for popular use Consid
erng the very brief limits to which you were obliged
to confne yourself am surprised at the fnness and
richness Of your biographical details. Your most
diicult and dei,ste 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 ieel that
whatever / have said about tho volume, however
true ought to be considered Of little worth could
not add-as cheerfully do--a stroag testimony to
its high moral tone and eminently Christian spirit
The general reader cannot fail 70 be interested, the
student pro6ted the scholar delighted, and tho man
Of piety pleased with your English Literature of the
Nineteenth Century"
