Poems and Prose Writings of E. C. Stedman.

THE NATURE AND ELEMENTS OF POETRY.

With Frontispiece after Dürer, Topical Analysis, and Analytical Index. Crown 8vo, gilt top, $1.50.

"A wholesome and refreshing wind blown from the clear cold heights of philosophy and art. The lectures have the practicality of modern thought. While they are the talk of a poet about poets, they are addressed to the great body of readers and students of English literature. To all liberal minds and hearts this volume will have a message of helpful guidance and encouragement."-Boston Transcript.

VICTORIAN POETS.

With Topical Analysis in Margin, and full Analytical Index. Twentyfirst Edition. Revised and extended, by a Supplementary Chapter, to the Fiftieth Year of the Period under Review. Crown 8vo, $2.25; half calf, $3.50.

"We ought to be thankful to those who write with competent skill and understanding, with honesty of purpose, and with diligence and thoroughness of execution. And Mr. Stedman, having chosen to work in this line, deserves the thanks of English scholars by these qualities and by something more. He is faithful, studious, and discerning of a sane and reasonable temper, and in the main a judicial one; his judgment is disciplined and exercised, and his decisions, even when we cannot agree with them, are based on intelligent grounds."-The Saturday Review (London).

POETS OF AMERICA.

With full Notes in margin, and careful Analytical Index. Eleventh Edition. 12mo, $2.25; half calf, $3.50.

CONTENTS: Early and Recent Conditions; Growth of the American School; William Cullen Bryant; John Greenleaf Whittier; Ralph Waldo Emerson; Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; Edgar Allan Poe; Oliver Wendell Holmes; James Russell Lowell; Walt Whitman; Bayard Taylor; The Outlook.

"The appearance of this book is a notable event in American letters. No such thorough and conscientious study of the tendencies and qualities of our poetry has been attempted before, nor has any volume of purely literary criticism been written in this country upon so broad and noble a plan and with such ample power. . . . Mr. Stedman's work stands quite alone; it has had no predecessor, and it leaves room for no rival.”—New York Tribune.

As in the densest darkness of the night,

In forests creaking 'gainst the heavy blasts,
When beating snows are sighing through the oaks,
The homeward wand'rer struggles up the slope

To find at once across his vision thrown

The gleaming rays of distant village lights;

So in the deep gloom of our unbelief,

In the nightly tempest of our doubts and fears,

We rise by virtue's hand to higher ground,

And hope again across our pathway shines.-Dartmouth Lit.
