literature that I have seen for a long time. It is written by one
who has a thorough knowledge of the subject and who is herself an
American poet of distinction. She has the knowledge, the sympathy,
the penetration, and the insight--all necessary to make a notable
book of criticism. It is a work that should be widely read in
America."

"From the standard of pure poetry, Miss Lowell's poem, 'The Book of
the Hours of Sister Clotilde' is one of the loveliest in our poetry,

_Boards, 12mo, $1.25_
"Such verse as this is delightful, has a sort of personal flavor, a
