Selections from the Poetical Works of Algernon Charles Stoinburne. (Chatto

and Windas.)—This selection, made, we presume, by Mr. Swinburne himself, as no other name appears on the title-page, is exactly what was wanted. It represents him at his best. There is nothing in it that those who honour his genius, and wish him to take his place among the pii metes et Pheebo digna locuti would wish away.—We may also mention an interesting " collection of poems of the Civil War" (of the United States), Bugle-Echoes. Edited by Francis F. Browne. (White, Stokes, and Allen, New York.)
