We give a hearty welcome to the first and last

(in order of time) of the series of " Anthologies " edited by Professor Edward Arber (Henry Frowde, 2s. 6d. per vol.) These are The Dunbar Anthology, including the period A.D. 1401-1503; and The Cowper Anthology (A.D. 1775-1800). The volumes number ten in all, and give in combination an admirable selection of master- pieces in English.
