vile. This is a handsome edition Of standard
work. Selections from upwards of seventy Of
the most celebrated German poets are given,
translated into English verse, with the original
text on the opposite page. The trauslations are
as literal as it Is possible to make them, aud
the book is one which we heartily commend to
all lovers of poetry, aud especially to students
Of the German language.
