6_d._
_This volume is called a "Household Book," by this name implying
that it is a book for all--that there is nothing in it to prevent it
from being confidently placed in the hands of every member of the
household. Specimens of all classes of poetry are given, including
selections from living authors. The Editor has aimed to produce a book
"which the emigrant, finding room for little not absolutely necessary,
might yet find room for in his trunk, and the traveller in his
knapsack, and that on some narrow shelves where there are few books
this might be one."_
"_The Archbishop has conferred in this delightful volume an
important gift on the whole English-speaking population of the
world._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE.
SACRED LATIN POETRY, Chiefly Lyrical. Selected and arranged for Use.
Second Edition, Corrected and Improved. Fcap. 8vo. 7_s._
"_The aim of the present volume is to offer to members of our
English Church a collection of the best sacred Latin poetry, such as
they shall be able entirely and heartily to accept and approve--a
collection, that is, in which they shall not be evermore liable to
be offended, and to have the current of their sympathies checked, by
coming upon that which, however beautiful as poetry, out of higher
respects they must reject and condemn--in which, too, they shall not
fear that snares are being laid for them, to entangle them unawares in
admiration for ought which is inconsistent with their faith and fealty
to their own spiritual mother._"--PREFACE.
