Three Hundred English Sonnets. Chosen and edited, with a few

Notes, by David M. Main, editor of " A Treasury of English Sonnets."—This handy and elegant little volume is chiefly selected from Mr. Main's greater work, which we reviewed in these columns some years ago, and estimated very highly as regards the taste and discrimination with which the selection was made. This is a much smaller and more convenient volume, and contains moat of the very best of the English sonnets.
