From Pref Channcey A. Goodrich, D. d., Of Yale
College.
'sI consider Prof. Clevelandis English Literature
of the Nineteenth Century an appropriate sequel 70
his Compendium. The author has shown the same
lust and delicate appreciation of literary excellence
in this in tho former volume; and as II reaches
down to our times it will be still more interesting to
a large portion of the public, and especially to the
Young Few persons can understand what an amount
of reading, thought, nice discrimination, and iabori
GUS COZ densation of knowledge are requisite 70 the
production of such work and just in proportion as
mon toll more extensively in this field will be tho
mt this result OF the author
fabom."

notices just and discriminating and, wnlle tney
are long enough to crafty the curiosity We have to
know something of author, they so spirited as
to awaken desire to know more. The selections
are admirable I have adopted the work as a text
book for my first class every individual OF which is
now preparing, under its guidance, TO give fuller
account Of the writings of some one chosen author
From ReV b. p. Aydeloft, d. d., Of Ciacinaat'.
II have examined with much care, and still great
er pleasure, and, trust, not little proht, your
English Literature of the Nneteenth Century.
II is, believe, the richest collection V gems ~
our language. There is nothing in it would omit
and yet il is not too large for popular use Consif
erng the very brief limits to which you were Obliged
to con6ne yourself am surprised at thefulness ana
richness Of your biographical details. Your most
difficult and deli ,ate task however, tho critical
judgnen. to be passed upon each author; and hero
think you have been very happy discriminating
and Just, and yet kind. But would feel that
whatever I have said about the volume, however
true ought to be considered of little worth could
not add-as checrfully do-a stro " testimony to
its high moral tone and cminenty Christian spirit
The general reader cannot fail to be Interested the
student proftod the scholar delighted and the man
Of pety pleased with your English Literature Of the
Nineteenth Century
