Bracltett, and Ida M. Eliot. Misi Brackett gives .in her preiace her reaaon lor adding this compilation of poema to the many already in exitnee ; the need oí something to answer the demand of teachers in school wort. It is often very difficult to lay hands on juBt what is wanted for recitations, and we really think the present volume will supply acceptable help in that direction. The selections are varied in character, running througb. the poets from Uhaucer to Longfellow, and the names of the authors are sutKcient guaranty of their excellence. Most of them also aie of old enough date to have stood the test of time, and thote of recent appearance are f ully up to the standard. The first part, designed for children from " six to ten years of age," is especially charming. The book need by no xneans be conüned to tke school room, but is a pleasant one to have lying round at home, where one can refresh one's self with an occasional glimpse of old favorites at odd momenta.
