Essays in Criticism.

BY

MATTHEW ARNOLD.

1 vol. 16mo. $2.00.

Contents: The functions of Criticism at the Present Time, The Literary Influence of Academies, Maurice de Guérin, Eugénie de Guérin, Heinrich Heine, Pagan and Mediæval Religious Sentiment, Joubert, Spinoza, Marcus Aurelius, On Translating Homer, A French Eton.

“The essays of this volume, in richness of matter, in ingenuousness of tone, in a certain indescribable fineness and subtlety of literary treatment, are incomparably superior to the ordinary run of periodical criticism.... There is nothing sectarian, nothing narrow, nothing exclusive in Mr. Arnold’s discussions. He gives a noble example of the exercise of criticism, according to his own definition of the term, as a disinterested endeavor to learn and propagate the best that is known and thought in the world.”—New York Tribune.
