THIS work has not only been revised throughout,but enlarged by the addition of two new chap-ters, continuing the work to the present time. Thesechapters comprise many poetic gems from our modernsacred anthology, including some recent fugitive poemsof grace and beauty. The scope of the work is wide-spread and compre-hensive, and presents in a succinct form the essence ofmuch that is most interesting, in anecdote and historicillustration, referring to the sacred poetry and hymnol-ogy of the Christian ages. The notes and incidentsrelating to poet or poem are enriched and illuminatedwith brief yet brilliant inspiration-bursts of holy song.
