Book of Georgian Verse. Chosen and Edited by William Stanley

Braithwaite. (Grant Richards. (ls.)—This volume follows up the "Book of Elizabethan Verse," published in 1906, and is itself to be followed by a "Book of Restoration Verse" and a "Book of Victorian Verse." (This last will present copyright difficulties, as much of Tennyson, Browning, and Swinburne, to mention the three greatest names, will be barred for some years to come.) The book now before us certainly gives us an ample equivalent fox its price. The verse itself occupies twelve hundred and twenty- six pages from more than a hundred writers. Of these brief biographical notices are given ; there is a glossary, and there are a few notes. Altogether, the book is one of no small value.
