The purpose of this collection is to put before children, and young people,
poems which are good in themselves, and especially fitted to live, as Theocritus
says, on the lips of the young. The editor has been guided toa great extent, in
making his choice, by recollections of what particularly pleased himself in youth,

—EXTRACT FROM PREFACE,

“Ts a pleasing and satisfactory completion of poetry, most of which is known
and held in high estimation by all persons of taste and education, The selection
is most judicious, and the most carping critic would be hard set to raise an objec»
tion. . . . Theselection is not confined to poems for the young, but includes
many of the noblest poems in the English language which not to know is to con-
fess ourselves imperfectly educated.”’—Comsmercial Advertiser.

“The collection is excellently chosen, the pictures strikingly good, and the
book a treasury of strong and fine verse. The contents are best summarized by
assuring you that any poem which ought to be there is there; and none that are
included should have been left out. It is an exquisite book, representing Mr.
Lang’s passion for the heroic, romantic and comic in verse, and having through
its illustrations a fairy-like appearance that will catch the fancy of young readers.”
