223 'Bring forth the horse!' The horse was brought. Is thy face like thy mother's, my fair child !.. Maid of Athens, ere we part...... Mont Blanc is the monarch of mountains. Mortal! to thy bidding bowed.... My hair is gray, but not with years. Not in those climes where I have late been straying. 291 25 155 192 301 296 220 92 279 51 292 288 170 170 155 I 293 297 O talk not to me of a name great in story O, thou! in Hellas deemed of heavenly birth.. 300 3 213 151 296 Slow sinks, more lovely ere his race be run. 294 PAGE So, we'll go no more a roving... 300 Tambourgi!

Price of Columbia. PANCOAST'S STANDARD ENGLISH POEMS From Spenser to Tennyson. Selected and edited by HENRY S. PANCOAST, author of An Introduction to English Literature, etc. 749 pp. 16mo. $1.50, net. Some 250 complete poems, besides selections from such long poems as "The Faërie Queene," "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage," etc. There are 19 pages of Ballads, 33 of Spenser, 22 of Elizabethan Songs and Lyrics, 16 of Elizabethan Sonnets, 51 of Seventeenth Century Songs, 51 of verse from Dryden to Thomson, 277 of verse from Thomson to Tennyson, and 100 of Victorian verse, 164 of Notes (chiefly biographical and appreciative), and an index of titles. New York Tribune: "We believe it will be received cordially by all lovers of poetry, whether elementary students or not. Basing his selections on the individual excellence and historic importance of the poems, the editor has not allowed his fidelity to the latter test to overrule his taste, and there is very little matter in the book which is historically significant alone. First and last, this is an anthology of the best poetry." Prof. Henry A. Beers of Yale, author of "English Romanticism in the Eighteenth Century," etc.: "The collection seems to me in general made with excellent judgment, and the notes are sensible, helpful, and not too weitläufig." Prof. Albert S. Cook of Yale: "A thoroughly good selection, and the notes are judicious, so far as I have examined." Prof. William Hand Browne of Johns Hopkins: "The scope is amply wide, and the selections as judicious as was possible under the limitations. The notes, judging from a hasty glance, seem full and clear." Prof. Charles W. Kent of the University of Virginia: "Contains nearly all the poems I would wish in such a volume and very few that I would readily dispense with." Prof. James M. Dixon of Washington University: "It is just such a handy volume as can be made, by a sympathetic teacher, a companion to the scholar for life." 29 W. 23d St., New York HENRY HOLT & CO., 378 Wabash Ave., Chicago 1900 |
