“A small quarto, liberal and very clear in print, and adorned for each play by a full-page colored design from the pencil of Norman M. Price. These designs are, in point of merit and attractiveness in perfect keeping with the rest of the elegant volume, and will impress and educate the taste of any child who reads the classic by himself.... The portraits of the authors after those in the National portrait gallery face the bordered title-page.”—Nation.

[*] Lamb, Osborn Rennie. Essay on the drama. $1. Ames & R.
This essay which discusses the drama in its various phases is developed under the divisions Criticism is not analysis; The aesthetic essential in drama; The play of the people; Sympathy as a dramatic force; The dramatic power of terror; Humor in drama; Reflective thought in drama; and Scenery and music in drama as an aid to the creation of atmosphere. The essay may prove suggestive to dramatic critics, and it will certainly help the average reader to form his own opinions and to challenge the “misstatement and false argument” so often found in newspaper criticism.
