The following are now ready:

THOMPSON.—THE SEASONS. BY JAMES THOMSON.

"Place the 'Seasons' in any light and the poem appears faultless—and above all, the sentiments are so pure, toe lessons in virtue so attractive, the religion so natural, graceful, and winning, that the reader cannot fail to become better and wiser by the perusal of that which produces sensations of the most supreme pleasure."—S.C. Hall.

"Above a hundred and twenty specimens of popular American poets adorn the pages, most of them worthy of being so chosen, and some of them eminently sweet and beautiful."—London Lit. Gaz.

GOLDSMITH.—THE VICAR OF WAKEFIELD. BY OLIVER GOLDSMITH.

"Goldsmith, both in verse and prose, was one of the most delightful writers in the language. His verse flows like a limpid stream. His ease is quite unconscious. Everything in him is spontaneous, unstudied, unaffected, yet elegant, harmonious, graceful, and nearly faultless."—Hazlitt.
