An

AVOURITE ENGLISH POEMS AND POETS. entirely New and Extended Edition. With 320 Engravings on Wood, produced in the very best style of woodcut printing. Handsomely bound in cloth extra, silk head-band, &c., 21s. "It contains upwards of 200 examples of our sweetest singers, illustrated by above 300 engravings. Eye and sentiment are satisfied with this noble gathering of the poets of our land."-Athenæum. What we most like in the Editor is that, with scarcely an exception, he selects whole poems. Extracts and beauties are often as unfair to the writer as they are misleading to the reader."-Saturday Review "When we say that the list of artists includes the names of Messrs. Harrison Weir, Birket Foster, J. C. Horsley, Charles Keene, Percival Skelton, John Gilbert, Gustave Doré, and E. Duncan, and that each of these appears to have done his very best, and to have worked in harmony, we have said enough to recommend the re-issue of this volume far and wide. The poems are taken mostly from writers of the last three centuries, and the illustrations amount to upwards of 300."-Times.

If works of a religious character are ever seasonable as gift-books, that time certainly is Christmas. Foremost among them we have "Christ in Song" by Dr. Philip Schaff (Sampson Low), a complete and carefully selected" Lyra Christologica," embracing the choicest hymns on the person and work of our Lord from all ages, denominations, and tongues. When we add that the sources whence its contents are taken are early Greek, Latin, and German hymns, that most of the modern ones are from English and American writers, and that the selection appears to be made with care and discretion, we have said enough to recommend it to most of our readers."-Times.
