"Mr. Courthope has worked out his view in six essays one generally retrospective of the past; one on conservatism of the eighteenth century; one on Words. worth and his theories; one on the revival of romance, illustrated from Scott, Byron, and Shelley; one on the connexion of poetry, painting, and music, illustrated from Coleridge and Keats; and a conclusion on the Few recent writings of the prospects of poetry. critical kind have been so free from vices of style. No one who is interested in the study of English literature can afford not to read the book. But criticism is criticism; and according to the faith that is in us, we think Mr. Courthope has failed to construct any durable or possible theory of the recent course of English poetry."

"Not a narrative of the Greely Expedition in full, but of Lieut. Lockwood's share in it. The claim is advanced for Lock wook that, in one of the sledge journeys from Greely's command, he made the highest northern point yet reached. Of course this has been contested, espe cially by Capt. Mark of the British Navy, who has laboured to prove that I. ckwood mistook Cape May for Cape Britannia, and moreover, that the whole highest region reached by Lockwood was explored in the English Expedition of 1875-76.

"The tales all deal with the mere brute passions of man; but wh le not adapted for juvenile perusal, are never coarse, and difficult moral problems are handled with a vigour and a fine perception that are beyond praise. The point of view, of course, is absolutely Italian; but this renders the book only the more interesting, because it faithfully reflects the mental and moral attitude of a nation whose character English people are apt to study far too little, an omission that often lands them in serions errors.

Quelques personnes penseront peut-être que le professeur de Nancy a poussé un peu loin la réhabilitation de l'impériale aventurière; mais il est certain que, sur bien des points, il a rétabli la réalité des faits et défendu avec succès la vérité contre les licences historiques qu'a prises le théâtre."— A.
