"This excellent addition to an excellent series deserves notice and commendation. The notes, literary and biographical, are notable for conciseness. The introduction is also a sound piece of criticism, tracing with great clearness the connection between the lyrical impulse and performance of particular periods and the national history."—The Spectator.
English Masques. Edited by H. A. Evans, m.a., Balliol College, Oxford.
"Altogether a thoroughly useful book, which all students of dramatic literature will be glad to place on their shelves."—The Guardian.
"Mr. Evans prefixes an excellent introduction ... he has performed his task well."—Academy.
English Satires. Edited by Oliphant Smeaton, m.a.
"The book is scholarly and has all the attractions of its kind. The student who likes to be carried swiftly from century to century, from one old friend to another, will find here what he wants. He will be able to turn with all the pleasures of contrast from Chaucer to Dryden, from Swift to Browning, or from Sydney Smith to George Canning or Thackeray."—Literature.
