10y stands at the head of the present race Of Eng
lish writer's. and each additional work from his
pen. adds materially TO his fame. The volume
is marked with 1.-THE same qualities Of mind aud
temper which have given celebrity and influence"
to the Hypatia, Two Years Ago. etc, Of the au
thor Tho present collection includes not only
his essays and reviews, but his four lectures On

his Time; Plays and Puritans; Burns and his
School; Hours with the Mystics Tennyson: The
Poetry Of Sacred and Legendary Art; North De-
Won; Pheton Alexandria and her Schools Ny

Elizabeth. OF the essays, the delightful sketch of
North Devon. and My Winter-Garden, nrc the best
specimens of his descriptive power; and the lite
rary papers on Tcnnyson, Burns, Hours with the
Art are full Of striking and suggestive thought.
The chief paper in the book, Sir Walter Raleigh,
is intensely interesting, and enbodics some facts
