are long enough crafty the curiosity we have to

to awaken o desire to know more The selections
arc admirable. have adopted the work as text

aI have examined with much caro-, and still great
er pleasure, and, trust, not little proht, your
English Literature of the Nineteenth Century
It is, believe, the richest collection Of gems in
ouy language. There is nothing in 1t would omit,
and yet it is not too large for popular USE Consd
ernp tho very brief limits to which you wero Obliged
to conne yourself surprised at the fullness and
richness Of your biographical details. Your most
difficult and delicate task, however was the critical
judgment to be passed upon each author; and here
I think you have been very discriminating
and just, and yet kind. But would fool that
whatever I have said about the volume, however
true ought to be considered of little worth could
not add--as chcerfully do-a stro g testimony to
its high moral tone and eminently Christian spirit
The general reader cannot fail to be interested the
student proted the scholar delighted, and the man
of piety pleased with your English Literature Of the
Nineteenth Century
