From George B. Emerson, Esq, Of Boston.
"I have examined your English Literature of the

notices are lust and discriminating and while they
are long enough to crafty the curiosity wc have to
know something of author they are so spirited as
to awaken q desire to know more The selections
are admirable. have adopted the work rs a text
pook for my first class, every individual OF when y
now preparing under its guidance, to give fuller
account of the writings Of some one chosen author

II have examined with much care, and still great
er pleasure and, trust, not little proht, your
English Literature Of the Nineteenth Century.
n II is believe, tho richest collection g gems "a
our language There is nothing In it would omit,
and yet It is not too large for popular use Consid.
oring the very brief limits to which you were obhged
to confne yourself am surprised Mt the funess and
richness OF your biographical details Your most
difficult and de.ate task, however, was tho critical
Judgment to be passed uptn each author and here
I think you have been very happy-discriminating
and lust and yet kind. But would feel that
whatever have said about the volume, however
true ought TO be considered of little WORTH could
not add-as checrfully do-a stro q testimony TO
it, high moral tone and eminently Christian spirit
The general reader cannot fail to be Interested the
student proited the scholar delighted and the man
Of piety pleased with your English Literature Of the
Nineteenth Century"
