"If there are among our readers any lover of good books to whom Mr. Stevenson is still a stranger, we may advise them to make his acquaintance through either of these collections of essays. The papers are full of the rare individual charm which gives a distinction to the lighest products of his art and fancy. He is a notable writer of good English, who combines in a manner altogether his own the flexibility, freedom, quickness and sug- gestiveness of contemporary fashions with a grace, dignity, and high-breeding that belong rather to the past," N, Y, Tribune,
HENRY VAN DYKE, D.D.
THE POETRY OF TENNYSON. (New Ed., in Press.}
CONTENTS : Tennyson's First Flight The Palace of Art ; Milton and Tennyson Two Splendid Failures The Idylls of the King The Historic Trilogy The Bible in Tennyson.
"A delightful book it is. It is both clear and picturesque, and never fails to interest. Seldom, it seems to us, has Tennyson's work been more fairly judged than in these pages."
