READINGS IN American PoErar: By RuFus w. Girls.


woLD. New.York, John c. Riher, ,Ann.sree,-


This work is intended to supply grievous want
in the schools of our country. Nearly all the class
books now in use. especially those consisting of
Poetry, are made up almost entirely of the pro-
ductions of English genius. Very few American
poems can be found in their pages, and we be-
lieve there is no work prepared for the use of
schools exclusively from our native writer's 1t is
most evident that this should not be so (; and the
elegant volume of selections prepared by Mr.
GRIswoLD will be of essential service in supply
ing the deficiency. The selections are made with
taste and care, and although many Of the best pro-
ductions of American authors are excluded on ac-
count of their length, which would render them
unsuitable for school books the extracts presented
are choice and beautiful. All the psomincn,
American poets have contributed to the pages ofthe
work, which is by far the best of its kind we have
ever 1t will receive, are sure, cordial
reception from the public.
