Shall I thus ever long, and be no whit the neare
Sing we Seamen now and then

Sir Walter Raleigh has built a ship

The breeze was fresh, the ship in stays
The George-Aloe, and the Sweepstake too
The king sits in Dumfermline town

The love that I hae chosen

The Master, the Swabber, the Boat-swain and I
The moon on the ocean was dimm'd by a ripple
The perils and the dangers of the voyage past.
There was a rich lord, and he lived in Forfar
There was a ship and a ship of fame

REES, and Introduction and Notes by H. LITTLEDALE. Athenaeum:-'A "lacustrine" relic of no ordinary interest. Lovers of Wordsworth all the world over must be grateful to Mr. J. R.

Wordsworth's Literary Criticism.

Edited with an In

troduction by NoWELL C. SMITH.

Daily Chronicle:-'Wordsworth's critical writings, collected in this attractive little volume, constitute an invaluable body of sound critical doctrine. . . . They are grave, sedate, and dignified, rather than brilliant or seductive...

Wordsworth's Guide to the Lakes. Fifth edition (1835). With Introduction, Notes, and Appendices, by ERNEST DE SÉLincourt.

Illustrated London News:-'No lover of the Lakes will be other than grateful for the charming little reprint -the first that has appeared in separate form-or to the editor for his delightful and scholarly introduction. Wordsworth's "Guide" has an abiding interest—and that not merely because it is from the pen of Wordsworth.... The inclusion of six quaint old drawings was

a happy thought, and adds not a little to the interest of a book which will, we trust, find its way into the portmanteau of many a traveller to the north this summer.'

The Lyrical Poems of William Blake. Text by JOHN SAMPSON. With an Introduction by WALTER RALEIGH.

Athenaeum:- - Mr. Walter Raleigh has contributed a brilliant study of Blake's mental attitude and a vivid representation of that mental attitude which responds to Blake.... That we should have two such editions at the same time is a double boon, for which the student and the epicure of letters should render equal thanks.' Trelawny's Recollections of the Last Days of Shelley and Byron. With the original Illustrations. With Introduction by Edward Dowden.

Notes and Queries:-'Shelley worshippers will welcome the appearance, in so attractive a form, of Trelawny's Recollections, with the original Illustrations.... Nowhere do we come so close to the real Shelley as in the charming volume now reprinted.'

lected, Arranged, and Edited by LEWIS CAMPBELL. The Treasury of Sacred Song, selected from the English Lyrical Poetry of Four Centuries. With Notes explanatory and biographical by FRANCIS T. PALGRAVE. Mary Wollstonecraft's Original Stories. With Five Illustrations by WILLIAM BLAKE. With an Introduction by E. V. Lucas.

Daily Chronicle:- 'Since these awful " Original Stories" will never again be used to plague the young idea, we hail their reappearance with delight. The whole book is a masterpiece of unconscious humour.' Kinglake's Eothen. With Illustrations. With Introduction and Notes by D. G. HOGARTH.
