s.Poe1s and Poetry of tl,c West"
We have been favored with advance
sheets OF this work. upon which Mr.. Cogge-
shall has been so long engaged. and which
will be from the press of Follett, Foster &
Co, about the middle of June.
The plan Of the editor seems to have been
to exercise determinations in his selections,
rather than the severest critical taste; SO that
while every poem of positive merit which
the west has produced, will be included In
the book, the work will be made representa-
tive of what is respectable in our poetical
literature. and no writer of reputation will
be passed over, because his verse cannot be
tried by the highest criticism. No other
plan, probably. could have been adopted
with success. The rhymings of the west
have nearly ali been desultory. Few wes-
tern men have made literature q profession;
