Uniform with Longfellow’s “Dante,” Bryant’s “Homer,” and Taylor’s
“Faust.” 1 vol. Royal 8vo. $5.00.
“Without seeking to imitate the verbal exactness of Longfellow’s
‘Dante,’ he has yet kept very close to the original,--in this respect
far surpassing Dryden; and it can scarcely be doubted that blank verse
is, for most readers, a better equivalent of the Latin hexameter than
Conington’s measure. A comparison of single passages, not less than the
general impression produced by a careful reading of the whole, will show
the superiority of Mr. Cranch’s version. He has given us a translation
of Virgil which can be read with pleasure by the classical scholar and
by the mere English reader, and which will rank with the best poetical
translation of our time.”--_Boston Transcript._
“The best translation yet made of Virgil’s master-work.”--_N. Y. Evening
Mail._
The Masque of the Gods.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR.
1 vol. 16mo. $1.25.
“We can give but a faint idea of the sublimity of the conception which
is wrought out in the drama. In some respects it approaches ‘Faust’ in
its tremendous power and suggestiveness. It would seem to be a work
suggested to the author from his study of ‘Faust,’ and has something of
the inspiration of that mighty work. As a work of art it ranks among
those of standard authors.”--_Troy Times._
Out-of-Door Rhymes.
BY ELIZA SPROAT TURNER.
1 vol. 16mo. $1.50.
“It is long since we chanced upon a pleasanter and more enjoyable volume
of verses than Mrs. Turner’s ‘Out-of-Door Rhymes.’ There is real
refreshment in its simplicity, and exhilaration in its brightness and
humor.”--_Literary World._
The Household Whittier.
The Complete Poetical Works of
JOHN G. WHITTIER.
_Household Edition_, uniform with the _Household Tennyson_. 1 vol. 12mo.
$2.00.
“It is a great advantage to a nation to have a singer who is universally
popular and at the same time profoundly moral and thoughtful. We suppose
no good man in the country, whatever may be his political or theological
creed, doubts that Whittier is on his side in the contest between good
and evil. Whittier is a Quaker whom everybody salutes as a real
‘Friend.’ His soul goes beyond his sect. We all feel a personal interest
in the circulation of his writings. Let every family in the land, we
say, have this austere and genial ‘Friend’ at their fireside. He brings
sympathy, hope, cheer, moral might, moral consolation, glimpses of ideal
beauty, to every door which opens wide to receive him.”--_Boston Globe._
_LONGFELLOW’S GREAT TRILOGY._
Christus: A Mystery.
Comprising
THE DIVINE TRAGEDY.
THE GOLDEN LEGEND.
THE NEW ENGLAND TRAGEDIES.
With Prelude, connecting Interludes, and Finale.
BY H. W. LONGFELLOW.
3 vols. 16mo. $4.50.
Each of the three parts of this work is complete in itself, but the
large design of the author is seen only by taking them together as they
are now presented in “CHRISTUS.”
