JOHNSON'S (ROSSITER) COLLECTIONS OF POEMS. Single Famous Poems. Collected and Edited by Rossiter Johnson. Square 12mo, gilt. $2.00.
A pretty volume fit for presentation, made up of celebrated English poems that have hitherto been printed only in periodicals and other fugitive places, or are in only such works as are not generally at hand.
The lover of poetry who is trying to find some English poem that he can get no trace of except from vague memory, would be quite apt to meet it in this volume.
Play-day Poems. Collected and Edited by Rossiter Johnson. 16mo. (Leisure Hour Series.) $1.00.
This volume contains the best of the humorous poetry published since Parton's collection in 1856, and also many of the old favorites.
"Singularly free from anything to offend the taste, or to injure the health by unsuccessful attempts to produce a laugh. You are not obliged to throw away a multitude of worthless, or mediocre specimens, before you light upon a poem which you can truly enjoy."—N.Y. Tribune.
