poems that are ‘poet’s poems’—too much of art for art’s sake. But Garvin’s _Canadian Poets_ contains the work of such poets, both of the older and the younger generation, as expresses the typical work of each of the singers and the typical spirit of the Canadian people. It is a companionable volume; and it has the distinct advantage of biographical and critical comment, which fit it, according to its scope, for private reading and enjoyment and for critical study of the history of Canadian poetry. In those regards Garvin’s _Canadian Poets_ is an anthology which is at once aesthetically satisfying and pragmatically the most serviceable in the field that it covers. Mr. Garvin is also the compiler of the only anthology of the Canadian poetry of the Great War. Several other anthologies of Canadian poetry require no more notice here than to mention their names and scope. L. J. Burpee’s _Flowers From a Canadian Garden_ is a genuine anthology in the Greek meaning of the term. It is a bijou anthology containing seventy-five fastidiously selected short lyrics, lovely ‘little flowers’ of Canadian poetry. The selections in Mr. Burpee’s _A Century of Canadian Sonnets_ are also most carefully chosen. E. S. Caswell’s _Canadian Singers and Their Songs_ is a unique volume of selected poems in fac-similes of the authors’ holograph manuscripts; and is illustrated with portraits of the authors of the poems. It is essentially a literary curiosity, and meets the express design of the compiler, namely, to produce a book of ‘personalia’ which would be appreciated as a gift book. Mrs. C. M. Whyte Edgar’s _A Wreath of Canadian Song_ (1910) is too fragmentary in the poetry which chiefly forms its substance to be considered a genuine anthology. Moreover, it is limited to the verse of Canadian poets who have died. Aesthetically viewed it is a work of no significance; but it contains historical and bibliographical data that is curious and useful for critical purposes. _Our Canadian Literature_ (1923) is a collection of Canadian poetry and prose by Dr. Lorne Pierce and Dr. A. D. Watson. It is much more valuable as a reading course or class room textbook than as a treasury of aesthetic poetry and prose. _A Book of Canadian Verse and Prose_ (1923) is the compilation of Professor E. K. Broadus and Mrs. Broadus. It is a collection of Canadian poetry and prose in English and French. A number of compilations of Canadian poetry and prose have been made from time to time for school use. Among these are _Patriotic Recitations and Arbor Day Exercises_, by G. W. Ross; _Selections from Canadian Poets_ and _Selections from Canadian Prose_, both by E. A. Hardy; _The Standard Canadian Reciter_, by Donald G. French; _The Canadian Poetry Book_, by D. J. Dickie. CHAPTER XXX Canadian Journalism
