"I have examined with much care, and still great
er pleasure, and, trust, not little proht, your
English Literature Of the Nineteenth Century.
1t is, believe, the RICHEST collection Of gems -,
oar L1ngaags. 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 funess ana
richness of your biographical details our most
difficult and delicate task, however, was the critical
judgment to be passed. upon each authori and here
/ think you have been very discriminating
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
mot add-as cheerfully do--a strosg testimony to
its high moral tone and eminenty Christian spirit
Tho general reader cannot fail to be interested the
student proited the scholar delighted and tho man
of piety pleased with your English Literature OF the
Nineteenth Century,"
