Brock, of Virginia, has conceived the
happy idea OF compiling thoroughly
representative collection of American
poems. Her purpose is to have from
each author single poem, which shall
be his or her favorite production, with

a collection will be to find the authors

nameless upon the great sea of litera-
ture.
