“By means of a series of classifications, the bulk and detail of Dr. Holmes’s work have been made accessible from several points of approach. There are six lists concerned with Holmes’s own work and four relating to matter written about him.... There is subjoined information as to the circumstances under which the poem or book was written and first published, with other relative items. Such a work is of course essentially a guide book.”—N. Y. Times.
“Mr. Ives’s work has been done well.”

“This is a very careful piece of work, and while absolute completeness is not claimed for its data, one may be confident that nothing of great importance is likely to have been omitted. The present task has not been performed in the spirit of meticulous yet critically undiscriminating diligence of which the bibliographer is sometimes guilty.” H. W. Boynton.
