SOUTHEY'S COMMON-PLACE BOOK. First Series. CHOICE PASSAGES. COLLECTIONS FOR ENGLISH MANNERS AND LITERATURE. What wisdom and poetry lie scattered about the pages! On one we see the amplitude of his learning; on another, the author's peculiar strain of sentiment; his pure Saxon English in a third. The common-place book of a reader of such out-of-the-way lore as Southey loved could not fail to be replete with amusement and possibly substantial information.-Critic (London). JOHN WOOD WARTER, B.D. Second Edition. LONDON: LONGMAN, BROWN, GREEN, AND LONGMANS. 1850. |
