Gallery Of Famous Poets.

We have had the pleasure of examining
work just published by j. NJ. Stoddart &
Co., of Philadelphia, most finely illustrated
and published upon fine heavy tinted paper
presenting to the public a rich volume artis-
tcally finished The choice gems upon its
pages, so superbly illustrated, give the pur-
chaser the handsomest volume yet issued
from the American press.
This work has been very discreetly
edited and selected by Henry Coppee, LII.
D., president Of Lehigh university, of
Bethlehem, Penn, and contains the gems
and best poems of all the great authors and
is library of poets in one volume. All
the matter has been arranged in fine taste
and with critical skill, indicating the ma
tured acumen of the compiler presenting,
as he does, a work of great literary merit.
The illustrations are profuse and superb,
consisting of many portraits of authors
who have attained the most enviable fame,
with fine steel engravings of landscape
views of the more prominent places men,
toned scenic representations of the events
noted in the several poems, and other rich
embellishments. There are nearly one
hundred and fifty of the illustrations en-
| graved on steel by American and English
artists. These are no wood cut ilustra-
tions, such as have flooded the country,
and is fully equal to the English steel
plate illustrations. These engraviggs alone
are worth the price of the book.
The book is published in large quarto
form, regularly, until completed and de-
livered to subscribers upon the payment OF
| fifty cents each number. The last num-
Der will contain an index, contents, etc.
There are twenty numbers, thus giving,
for $40, one of the richest and choicel
volumes published.
The serial form in which it is presented
will enable those of small, as well as large
means, to possess the volume. 1t is tht
cheapest work at the price published il
this country. 1t will be an educator in thu
family, as well as an ornament in thu
household and will be more. and NOR,
appreciated as years roll on. We can con
fidently commend this work to the patron
age of all our citizens as one worthy
place in every household.
