Two anthologies, both published by George Bell and Sons, may

be mentioned together. These are The Poetic Old World, Compiled by Lucy M. Humphrey, and Poems for Travellers, Compiled by Mary R. J. Dubois (5s. each). There is no small resemblance between the two volumes ; the arrangement differs somewhat ; but we have no hesitation in recommending both. They are fall of good things.—Another anthology may be mentioned at the same time. It is concerned with flowers, flowers in general and in particular. This is The Flowering Field, Compiled by Kate Urania Brock (Hodder and Stoughton, ls. 6d. net).
