to ascertain the sources from whence such development and maturity
proceed.” It contains, for example, chapters on the Primeval
Transition; Speech; Metals; the Mound-Builders; Primitive Architecture;
the American Type; the Red Blood of the West, &c. &c._
CHATTERTON: A Biographical Study. By DANIEL WILSON, LL.D., Professor of
History and English Literature in University College, Toronto. Crown
8vo. 6_s._ 6_d._
_The Author here regards Chatterton as a Poet, not as a “mere resetter
and defacer of stolen literary treasures.” Reviewed in this light, he
has found much in the old materials capable of being turned to new
account: and to these materials research in various directions has
enabled him to make some additions._
