HORTON, GEORGE. Songs of the Lowly, and Other Poems. Chicago: F. J. Schulte & Co. 12mo, gilt, gilt top, cl,, pp. 241, $1.50. Mr. Horton is a pleasing versifier. True to the text, his songs are indeed " Songs of the Lowly." Simple themes clothed in metaphorical expression, readily understood and appreciated. Mr. Horton does not "talk over the heads" of his readers. He appeals to them directly. His verses marked by a smoothness of rhythm and metre. are JONES, WILLIAM C. Birch-rod Days and Other Poems. Chicago: American Publisher's Ass'n. 12mo, port, gilt, gilt top, cl., pp. 266. LANG, ANDREW. Helen of Troy. London: George Bell & Sons. 16mo, gilt, cl. pp. 204. Mr. Lang is a thorough student of Greek literature, and this latest addition to his already numerous writings is but an emphasis of his ability. Helen of Troy is a translation of her life done into English verse. MACAY, ERIC. Love Letters of a Violinist, and Other Poems. New York: Lovell, Coryell & Co. 12mo, pp. 277, cl., gilt, gilt top. Love Letters of a Violinist consists of twelve letters, representing as many moods, beginning with the prelude, and closing with "victory," the grand finale. Gladys the Singer, in two cantos, 113 Ode, Miscellaneous Poems, Sonnets and Italian Poems constitute the other poems. This is a special copyright American edition, newly revised by the author. MERCIER, A. H. Crusaders of '61. A brochure containing a memorial poem to the memory and glory of the heroes of 1861. Winnowed Grasses. REED, J. S. Indianapolis, Ind.: The Bowen-Merrill Co., 1892. 12mo, obl., port, pp. 159, cl., $1. These verses, suggestive of homely, every-day life, are more pleasing in theme than in metre. RICE, ALONZO LEORA. Prize Poems. Indianapolis, Ind.: Carlon & Hollenbeck, 1892. 12mo, port, pap., pp. 32. A collection of prize poems from Judge, Boston Transcript, Savannah Magazine, Idle Hours, Poets of America and Magazine of Poetry. RITCHIE, JOHN. Hassan: A Vision of the Desert. Chicago: F. J. Schulte & Co,, 1892. 12mo, gilt edge, cl., unp., $1. ROBINSON, JOSEPH CARVER. A Dream: An Epic Poem. Boston, Mass.: Author's edition. 12mo, cl., pp. 174. SWINBURNE, A. C. Locrine: A Tragedy. New York: United States Book Co. 12mo, gilt, gilt top, cl., pp. 138. SWINBURNE, A. C. The Sisters: A Tragedy. New York: United States Book Co. 12mo, gilt, gilt top, cl., pp. 126. Swinburne stands to-day the greatest of dramatic poets. These two later editions but serve to confirm this. "The Sisters," especially, is a poem of great beauty, with strong scenes and dramatic situations. VEATCH, ANDREW. Over the Line and Other Poems. Jasper, Texas. Author's edition, 1892. 8vo, pp. 32, pap., 30c. WILLIAMS, ESPY. The Dream of Art, and Other Poems. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. 16mo, gilt, gilt top, white cl., pp. 99, 75c. These poems are no better, no worse than many others. They are well written, but denote no striking originality. WRIGHT, DAVID HENRY. "Is Peace on Earth?" Philadelphia, Pa.: J. B. Lippincott Co., 1802. 12mo, leatherette, pp. 64. Mr. Wright is a young writer, judging from the photo, which serves as frontispiece. Passing from the frontispiece to the initial poem, which gives title to the book, we find strong, sturdy lines, which bear out the impression given by the photo, and we venture to predict the author will have something to say in the future years, and that he will not fear to say it. Many of his poems are addressed to famous men and women, which would proclaim him a hero-worshiper. His themes are well handled and show great strength, purity of diction and an ear attuned to melody. BIBLIOGRAPHY OF POETRY FOR 1892.
