Valeria, and Other Poems.

Including the Commemoration Ode read and sung
at the dedicatory ceremonies of the World's
Columbian Exposition. By Harriet Monroe.
12mo, gilt top....

"No finer ode has been written since Lowell's Com-
memoration Ode. It is full of beauties, and contains
rare pictures framed in the spirit of poesy."-The Chi-
cago Herald.

"The tragedy (Valeria) itself is one of rare concep-
tion and grasp, full of surprises.
Nothing in the
play is weak or imitative.
Her cantata is unde-

niably strong, varied, dignified, and in good taste.
This lady has certainly taken at one bound a high posi-
tion among American poets."-The Evening Post, New
York.

*Victorian Anthology, A.

By Edmund Clarence Stedman. Containing representative poems by the authors discussed in "Victorian Poets." Large crown octavo......

[blocks in formation]

Mr. Stedman has made an inclusive but choice selection from the entire field of British poetry since the beginning, in 1837, of the present reign-the field surveyed and criticised in his "Victorian Poets. That book, which is regarded as a standard here and abroad, has gone through many editions, and the demand for it grows with the increased attention paid to English literature. The new work is composed of "selections in illustration of the editor's review of poetry in the reign of Victoria," and will be a companion to that volume. The arrangement of its contents is intended to show the various groups and tendencies of the period-a time which Mr. Stedman deems richer in imaginative literature than any since the Elizabethan.

This is an entirely new edition from new plates, and in all respects is like the Handy-
Volume Edition of Longfellow's Poems published last year, which is a favorite with
lovers of choice books. The type and external size of the volumes are a little larger than
those usually adopted for Handy-Volume Editions, thus giving them a dignity befitting
the library without in any way detracting from their delightfully convenient form. The
paper has been specially made with a view to its opacity and its printing qualities, while
the binding has a style and quality that please book-fanciers. Each volume has a por-
trait, the four representing the poet at different periods of his life, and each frontispiece
is followed by an engraved title with an etching. The four volumes are inclosed in a
neat box.

This volume presents Whittier's Complete Poems in the same form as the Cambridge Edition of Longfellow's Poems, which is regarded as a model of its kind. The text is preceded by a biographical sketch, and is provided with short notes and an index of first lines. It is beautifully printed from new plates, in a type specially selected with a view to its clearness as well as its elegance, and on paper remarkable for its opacity and its high quality. The binding, while simple and chaste, is decorative in design, and by its combined firmness and flexibility makes the book a most agreeable one to handle. The size is only slightly larger than a regular crown octavo, thus hitting it eminently for library use.

Messrs. Macmillan & Co. have much pleasure in announcing that Mr. Bartlett's Concordance to Shakespeare, which has been in preparation for over twenty years, is now ready for publication. An important feature which distinguishes this volume from any of its predecessors is that references are given, not only to acts and scenes, but to the lines as numbered in the Globe Edition of Shakespeare, from which this Concordance was prepared.
