"It contains upwards of 200 examples of our sweetest singers, illustrated by above 300 engravings. Eye and sentiment are satisfied with this noble gathering of the poets of our land."—Athenæum."What we most like in the Editor is that, with scarcely an exception, he selects whole poems. Extracts and beauties are often as unfair to the writer as they are misleading to the reader."—Saturday Review."When we say that the list of artists includes the names of Messrs. Harrison Weir, Birket Foster, J. C Horsley, Charles Keene, Percival Skelton, John Gilbert, Gustave Doré, and E. Duncan, and that each of these appears to have done his very best, and to have worked in harmony, we have said enough to recommend the re-issue of this volume far and wide. The poems are taken mostly from writers of the last three centuries, and the illustrations amount to upwards of 300."—Times.

Extracts from Literary Notices.
"The present series—taking its name from the opening volume, which contained a translation of the Knight without Fear and without Reproach—will really, we think, fill a void in the shelves of all except the most complete English libraries. These little square-shaped volumes contain, in a very manageable and pretty form, a great many things not very easy of access elsewhere, and some things for the first time brought together.—Pall Mall Gazette."We have here two more volumes of the series appropriately called the 'Bayard,' as they certainly are 'sans reproche.' Of convenient size, with clear typography and tasteful binding, we know no other little volumes which make such good gift-books for persons of mature age."—Examiner."St. Louis and his companions, as described by Joinville, not only in their glistening armour, but in their every-day attire, are brought nearer to us, become intelligible to us, and teach us lessons of humanity which we can learn from men only, and not from saints and heroes. Here lies the real value of real history. It widens our minds and our hearts, and gives us that true knowledge of the world and of human nature in all its phases which but few can gain in the short span of their own life, and in the narrow sphere of their friends and enemies. We can hardly imagine a better book for boys to read or for men to ponder over."—Times.
