In the composition of this slight story, we
find a greater power of ethical exposition than OF
romantic invention 1t has scarcely the semblance OF
Mot and the characters who figure the scene are so
scauy IN number and commonplace IN quality as TO
give the impression both OF dearth and inslpdy Inc
work is designed to illustrate the ckeness Of woman In
the relations of love, and to exhibit example OF
masculine cOnstancy in forcble contrast with the weak
minded heroine has accepted the addresses OF one
of her cousins alfrank, cordial afecuOnate sort ol
fellow but wthno great force of character and adegee
of tender deyotedness which is shown in the sequel To

prospect of speedy promotion. The mother OF inc

The compiler of this work intends it for a
supplement to his elaborate Dictionary OF Authors
which has gained high reputation III the literary worm
as book of reference. and the preparation Of when
would naturally furnish ample store Of mate
rails for volume like the present. Mr.
Alhbone has eyinced less good judg-
ment than industry in the selection OF
its contents and the arrangement OF itS SUBJECTS III EN-
braces the whole field ofpoetry in the English language
giving brief extracts from many of the prominent En-
glsh and American poets, both among the living ana
the dead although not few distinguished ana iaVOrlc
names are excluded by the necessity OF the case Many
of the quotations III the form of aphorsms, brei IN
compass, but pregnant in meaning and comprised IN
sentences of two or three lines each Not every
great poet has the art Of COMPRISING his sense
within so narrow space, and thus while
all are consulted, many are omitted Probably the
reader has no less ODE grateful for the omissions
than the quotations. Among the American poets, T. b
Aldrich Boxer Browne ,Elery ChanningiC. r. Cranch'
q. IT, Calvert, President Dwight, Bret Harte H. Hunt
stedman and others dOnot nda place, nordocs Robert
Browning swinburne Rosctt or Morris, among the En-
elish. single quotation is given from r. II. Dana,
two are gwen from TIaokcray, and four lines
from Bayard Taylor. The admirable indexes
to the volume furnish perfect guide to
its contents. They give the names OF the
quotations in alphabetical order, that no one need
lose his way in this wilderness Of sweets" No similar
collection presents great variety OF topics or is cas
sified with so much intelligence and taste. 1t shows
that the editor less familiar with the choicest pro-
ductons OF English poetry than he is with the lives OF
their authors aud the dates OF their publication and he
has certa My placed the lovers of literature under fresh
obligations by his zeal and pers everance.
