GREEN MOUNTAIN POETs.-Publish-
cd by the Claremont Stationery Com
pany, Claremont, n. ii.
We acknowledge the receipt of a
copy of this work, which the title page
declares to be "a collection of p oems
from the best talent in the Green
Mountain State" 1t appears so far as
we have been able to examine it, to be
simply areprint of the collection made
by the late Professor a, j. Sanborn
when principal of the graded school in
this place, without revision OF correc-
tod of numerous typographical errors,
but with few of the poems of the late
Charles G.. Eastman added at the end.
The collection was not very credita-
bic one in the beginning, and age has
not improved it. About one-quarter
of these poems may be ssaid TO belong
to the domain of respectable poetry I;
much of the balance is the dreariest
trash. The Green Mountain State has
produced some fairly good poets, but
some of the very best are represented
in this volume very meagerly or not at
all. Professor Sanborn evidently ex-
ercised neither the judgment nor the
taste required for such a work. We
hope some day to see collection of
Green Mountain poetry properly selec-
ted and edited, and there is enough ex-
tant worth printing TO form very
respectable volume. We can only re-
greet that the publishers of this volume,
having omitted Professor Sanborn's
name from the title page, did not also
omit largo number of the poems.
The book is handsomely bound, and
will make very good centre table Or
nament.
