The Complete Poetical Works of William Cowper. Edited by H.

S. Milford, M.A. (Henry Frowde. 2s.)-This "Oxford Edition" is one of a series so excellent and so low-priced that it deserves all the encouragement which can be given to it. Mr. Milford collates the text most carefully, helps us with tables and indexes, and in fact does with admirable fulness and accuracy the whole duty of an editor. All that Cowper wrote, excepting the translations of Homer and Adamio, is to be found in this volume. A few notes, chiefly critical, have been added.
