‘A tasteful collection of devotional poetry of a very high
standard of excellence. The pieces are short, mostly original,
and instinct, for the most part, with the most ardent spirit of
devotion.’--_Standard._
=POEMS.= By WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT. Red-line Edition. Handsomely
bound. With 24 Illustrations and Portrait of the Author. 7_s._ 6_d._
A Cheaper Edition, with Frontispiece. 3_s._ 6_d._
These are the only complete English Editions sanctioned by the Author,
and they contain several of the Author’s Poems which have not appeared
in any previous Collection.
‘Of all the poets of the United States there is no one who obtained
the fame and position of a classic earlier, or has kept them longer
than William Cullen Bryant.’--_Academy._
=ENGLISH SONNETS.= Collected and Arranged by JOHN DENNIS. Fcap. 8vo.
Elegantly bound. 3_s._ 6_d._
This Collection of Sonnets, arranged chronologically from the
Elizabethan to the Victorian era, is designed for the students of
poetry, and not only for the reader who takes up a volume of verse in
order to pass away an idle hour. The Sonnet contains, to use the words
of Marlowe, ‘infinite riches in a little room.’
‘An exquisite selection, a selection which every lover of poetry
will consult again and again with delight. The notes are very
useful.... The volume is one for which English literature owes Mr.
Dennis the heartiest thanks.’--_Spectator._

find her in good company.’--_Guardian._
‘Many a tender thought and charming fancy find graceful utterance in
his pages.’--_Athenæum._
‘“Baby’s Shoes” is worthy to rank with “Baby May,” which, from its
completeness and finished charm as a picture of infancy, is one
of the most exquisite among Dr. Bennett’s productions.’--_Daily

language, and are familiar in a thousand homes.’--_Weekly Dispatch._
