Messrs.

THE GOLDEN TREASURY OF THE BEST SONGS AND LYRICAL POEMS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. ---------

Selected and arranged, with Notes, by Francis Turner Palgrave.

This delightful little volume, the Golden Treasury, which contains many of the best original lyrical pieces and songs in our language, grouped with care and skill, so as to illustrate each other like the pictures in a well-arranged gallery.”—­Quarterly Review.

THE CHILDREN’S GARLAND FROM THE BEST POETS.
-------------------------------------------

Selected and arranged by Coventry Patmore.

It includes specimens of all the great masters in the art of poetry, selected with the matured judgment of a man concentrated on obtaining insight into the feelings and tastes of childhood, and desirous to awaken its finest impulses, to cultivate its keenest sensibilities."—­Morning Post.

THE BOOK OF PRAISE.
-------------------

From the Best English Hymn Writers.  Selected and arranged by Sir Roundell Palmer. A New and Enlarged Edition.

All previous compilations of this kind must undeniably for the present give place to the Book of Praise....  The selection has been made throughout with sound judgment and critical taste.  The pains involved in this compilation must have been immense, embracing, as it does, every writer of note in this special province of English literature, and ranging over the most widely divergent tracts of religious thought."—­Saturday Review.
