"The extracts have, for the most part, been chosen with much care and taste. Interspersed throughout these pages are to be found many poetical gems, guarded by the law of copyright, but placed at the compiler's disposal by the liberality of the authors. We may add that the typography of this volume is very elegant."-Critic.

"There is much exquisite poetry in the volume, and taste and type have combined to render it outwardly attractive.”—Literary Gazette.

"The selection makes a delightful book; its mechanical production being every way worthy its valuable contents."-Bookseller.

"A very elegant and carefully compiled book of poems from the best authors. We can commend the volume to all who love true poetry."-Manchester Courier.

“The compiler's plan has embraced a wide range of authors, including both the illustrious dead, and the living who aspire to similar crowns of immortality. This book of "Choice Poems and Lyrics," we may add, is quite a gem as regards letterpress printing and binding."-Glasgow Citizen.
