NOTE

To any one who knows the admirable books of Prof. Moses Coit Tyler, the obligation under which he has placed all future students of literature in America must be obvious. So far as his work has proceeded, it leaves little to be done by others. The best short and popular book on the subject is Mr. Pancoast's. Stedman and Hutchinson's "Library of American Literature" is an excellent anthology, supplemented by a trustworthy biographical dictionary, and exhaustively indexed. Mr. Stedman's "American Anthology" has admirable biographic notes.

Among those who have been helpful in the preparation of this book, it seems proper to mention Messrs. Philip Jacob Gentner, Chester Noyes Greenough, and George Stockton Wills, of Harvard University. Mr. Greenough has rendered great assistance in the preparation of the bibliographical notes. Particular acknowledgment is also due to Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson, whose constant interest and kindness have been equalled only by his tolerance of occasional difference of opinion.
