To their new edition Of Chaucer the publishers

IN the in+roduction by Professor Lounsbury,
master among Chaucerians. This prelatotS
matter running to twelve pages or hne type
gives exactly the biographical and critical lnIor
nation needed for a popular edition II sketches
the nosition of Chaucer, touches sufficiently
upon the little that we know Of the poets career
and traverses his characteristics as writer.
With this preparation. and with full glossarial
index printed at the back of the second volume
the student least familiar with Chaucer should
have no difficulty in arriving at an appreciation
of the text To those who may feel discouraged
at the outset Professor Lounsbury addresses
himself follows:
common impression prevails that Chaucer Is
a very difficult author to read or understand
Nothing could be much further from tne 'ruen- @
The belief is due has been remarked pre-
viously, to the unfamiliar orthography more
than to any other thing. 1t is strange; IT
looks uncouth and therefore Is deemed nard
But all difficulties arising from this source dis
appear after very brief study. On the other
hand Chaucer's style. like that OF all early
writers of genius. is characterized by perfect
simplicity and by consequent clearness or ex-
preston There are very few sentences over
which the reader who understands the words
has to linger long in order to understand the
meaning. OF course, like every early writer,
his language presents certain difficulties OF its
own. There found in it words which have
now gone of use. and words which while
still IN use have changed their sgnifcation.
Familiarity with all OF these is mere matter
Of detail and can be acquired with comparative
ease.
The biographical introduction to the Burns
is by Mr. Nathan Haskell Dole, who tells the
story of his heros life with iveliness and packs
a great deal of interesting matter within very
small space. The notes are brief and tactful.
There is good glossary; this is followed by a
chronology and by general index of titles and
first lines The frontispiece of the first volume
is a good photogravure reproduction of Ma
smyths portrait, and Peter Taylor's portrait of
the poet introduces the second volume. Both
the "Chaucer'' and the Burns simply
bound in dark cloth. with the title stamped in
gold on the back and side Of each volume.
