work from the obscurity of first editions.

This little volume is a source of intellectual gratification to the admirers of the late laureate, because of the comparison and contrast it inevitably arouses between the earlier and the finished work."-Glasgow Herald.

"A concise anthology of the poet's earlier work, especially of that part of it which he did not reprint or which he radically transformed.-Manchester Guardian.

An INDEX to the Songs, Snatches, and Passages in SHAKESPEARE which have been set to Music. Compiled by H. KELSEY WHITE. Paper wrapper. Price 4d. nett, post free. 300 copies only.

This Index is a full and adequate reference to the subject, the number of references exceeding 220. Being printed in crown 8vo, it will fit into any ordinary edition of that size, and form an useful aid to the study of the lyrical parts of the great dramatist.

All the aforementioned books, published or in preparation, may be ordered, or subscribed for, of the publisher,

It is proposed to issue a somewhat lengthy series of Booklets, in

literary masterpieces of sufficient length to fill an average booklet of
about 40 pages; and (2), independent Anthologies of English verse
(original or translated), including many names hitherto only sparsely
represented in general books of miscellaneous poetry, or almost
entirely unknown to the general lover of our literature. The series
is in active preparation, and it is proposed to issue Six Numbers

issues to be 2/6 net, post free; odd numbers to cost non-subscribers
6d. each, plus postage; Subscribers to a year's issues to have the

dealt with in the series, and the first six will be chosen from the
first nine or ten names now mentioned :—
KATHERINE PHILIPS ("The Matchless Orinda "); THOMAS CAREW;
ROBERT

SAPPHO; NORRIS, of Bemerton; JOHN DONNE;

CRASHAW, RICHARD.

SACRED EPIGRAMS AND OTHER POEMS. Translated from the Latin of Richard Crashaw. By JOHN O'CONNOR. With an APPENDIX of VARIOUS READINGS from the original editions of Crashaw's English Poems, and a collection. of FAMILIAR and other QUOTATIONS. About 660 copies. Crown 8vo, buckram cloth, gilt tops. Price 2/6 net, post free. (In preparation.)

In the above an attempt is made at least to give the English reader some idea of CRASHAW's wealth of poetry as exemplified in the thought of his Latin verse. There his tangled conceits are less ravelled, and his congested fancy freer. The EPIGRAMS are Englished for the most part as literally as possible, but in Crashaw's longer pieces his material inspired a more literary response. From attempting a kind of hexameter the work grew to the irregular form of the Ode. The Epigrams and Poems not dealt with are those Crashaw himself rendered later in his life, or those which, in the translator's opinion, were of very inferior quality, full of mere ingenuities or revolting morbidities not to be Englished by anyone but Crashaw.

STANLEY, THOMAS (1625-1678). The POEMS of. Edited by J. R. TUTIN.

An attempt is hereby made to give to a select number of lovers of our seventeenth-century poetry, a complete collection of THOMAS STANLEY'S original Poems. The edition of 1814 (namely, that of Sir Egerton Brydges) is so rare-one hundred copies, or so, only having been printed-that the volumes are practically unobtainable. Thomas Stanley is deserving of a better fate than this, as even the few lyrics of his that have got into some of our anthologies should convince any discerning student of our older literature. His translations of Anacreon and other Greek Poets are known to be equal to the best, one at least (viz., his version of Anacreon) having been reprinted within the last ten years. His original verse is none the less meritorious, and (to quote Gilfillan) "discovers powers that might have been better employed in original composition than in
