Selections from Wordsworth. By William Knight, and other Members of

the Wordsworth Society. With Preface and Notes. (Kegan Paul.)—We are glad that this interesting volume, which contains so much of Wordsworth's finest work—that is to say, of the finest poetry of the century—has been produced in a more popular form. Every one who loves Wordsworth can afford to buy this beautifully printed volume ; but we must repeat the

regret we expressed last year that there is no index of first-lines.

Moreover, the book is unfortunately a little too large to be con- veniently carried in the pocket, and yet it is just the book which, on a walking-tour or while loitering in the country, one would most gladly take as a companion.
