Vol.  I.—­“LIFE OF LONGFELLOW.”

BY PROFESSOR ERIC S. ROBERTSON

“The object of ‘GREAT WRITERS’ is to ’furnish the public with interesting and accurate accounts of the men and women notable in modern literature.’  The first volume, now before us, is on Longfellow, by the Editor, and gives, in the space of 180 pages, a detailed account of the poet’s life, an analysis of his work, and an essay on his place in literature.  It is as the household poet par excellence that Longfellow may reasonably take the first place in such a series as that now to be issued, and, as an accompaniment to the reading of the poems themselves, nothing more is wanted than will be found in these pages.  The type is clear, the paper good, the binding stout, and the size handy.  Altogether a remarkable shillingsworth, even in this day of cheap books.  Other numbers promised are ‘Coleridge,’ by Hall Caine; ‘Dickens,’ by Frank Marzials; and ‘Rossetti,’ by Joseph Knight.  If the future numbers are as good as the first, a great success may be anticipated.”—­The Standard.

Vol.  II. is “LIFE OF COLERIDGE.”
