"'Select Poems,' recently published by Lee & Shepard, Boston, pp. 174, 12mo, are from the pen of Hon. Harvey Rice of Cleveland, O., and author of 'Nature and Culture,' published by the same firm in 1875, and which contained several essays on those subjects worthy of the deepest consideration. "In the volume now before us, the same love and admiration of all things good, noble, patriotic, and beautiful, are to be observed; and we wish that some of our magazine-writers would take pattern by the plain, almost severe, Saxon verbiage in which the deepest thought and most vivid fancy find expression."--_Journal of Commerce, Boston._ "A second edition indicates the public estimate of these piquant, graceful, and, in many regards, beautiful creations. We still think that 'Unwritten Music' rightfully fills the first place. It is simply exquisite."--_Christian Leader, Boston._ "Among the best of the long poems are 'The Mystery of Life,' 'Mount Vernon,' 'Ancestral Portraits,' 'Home of my Youth,' and 'Freedom.' The short poems are all good, some of them being perfect gems."--_Eastern Argus, Portland, Me._ "A collection of original poems, all of which are pleasing in structure, pure and elevated in sentiment, vigorous and refined in diction, and faultless in numbers. The religion is that of the natural man, the morality that of works, the sympathy tender, and the wit general. The lovers of good poetry will relish the feast."--_Epis. Recorder, Phil._ "Mr. Rice writes true poetry."--_New York Methodist._ _Sent, post-paid, on receipt of price._ LEE AND SHEPARD, PUBLISHERS. BOSTON, 1889.
