Introduction to English Literature
By HENRY S. PANCOAST
_Fourth Edition, enlarged. 725 pages. Crown 8vo. 7s. 6d. net_
Prof. C. H. Herford, Litt.D.: "Seems to me to fulfil better, on the whole,
than any other 'Introduction' known to me, the real requirements of such a
book as distinguished from a 'Sketch' or a 'Summary.'... Should serve in
particular as an excellent text-book in the courses on English Literature
now required for the London Intermediate."

more compendious manual of its subject. Of a modest size and price, it is

Pall Mall Gazette: "Into something less than 500 pages he has condensed a
summary of the best critical opinion in regard to the author and his
works, and it is all so well arranged that the student has no difficulty

A Handbook to the Works of Alfred, Lord Tennyson
By MORTON LUCE

Prof. Dowden: "Your 'Handbook to Tennyson' seems to me excellent in its

"Webster's 'New International' Dictionary is indeed a library in itself,
and no collection of books, whether large or small, should be, in my
opinion, without a copy." SIR SIDNEY LEE, D.LITT.
"The best English Dictionary in one volume that has been published; no
other one-volume work of the kind is so complete in its records of words,
or so adequate, not only in definitions, but in the encyclopædic
information which it so often supplies." PROFESSOR EDWARD DOWDEN, M.A.,
LL.D., D.C.L.
Write to the Publishers for detailed Prospectus, Specimen Pages, and the
