My Canadian journal, 1872-'78; extracts from my letters home, written while Lord Dufferin was governor-general; . k, printed in gold, a delight to theeye. Fifty Perfect Poems is certainly the most notable gift-book of the season.—Philadelphia Press. An unusually handsome presentation volume.—Chicago Tribune. A feature of the volume which will commend it to book fanciers is its superbworkmanship and adornment. It has seventy designs, exquisite gems set in thestream of verse which flows through the broad immaculate pat;es. They are remark-ably impressive in effect, terse and refined in expression, and in their peculiar settingseem like veritable windows opening upon the outer world from the illuminatedchambers of the poets imagination. We have never seen a series of pictnres morenicely adjusted in their tone to the music they accompany than are thLse.
