Heinrich Heine's Lieder tend Gedichte. Selected and arranged by C.

A. Buchheim, Ph.D. (Macmillan and Co.)—This volume will be a welcome addition to the "Golden Treasury Series." Professor Buchheim will carry all opinions with him when he argues that Heine is a poet for whom selection is wanted. There was, as he says, a lower Heine as well as a higher, and the lower sometimes transgressed into verse which it would be a strange anomaly to put into anything that called itself a treasury. The introduction is an excellent piece of criticism. But Professor Buchheim's observations on Heine's poems of the sea are peculiarly noteworthy.
