OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

THE AGE OF POPE.

"The special purpose of Mr. Dennis's book is to form one of a series of handbooks edited by Professor Hales, which it is to be hoped, he tells us in his preface, will be of service to students who 'love literature for its own sake instead of regarding it merely as a branch of knowledge required by examiners.' A handbook,' indeed, is scarcely a fair description of so readable and companionable a volume, which aims not only at giving accurate information, but at directing the reader's steps through a country exhaustless in variety and interest."-Spectator.
