SELECTIONS FROM HERRICK, for Translation into Latin Verse, with a
short Preface. By the Rev. A.J. MACLEANE, M.A., Trinity College, Cambridge, Principal of Brighton College. "We cordially recommend it as a book well adapted to promote a superior style of versification to that which has hitherto prevailed even in the highest classes of our German Schools."--_Educational Times_. GEORGE BELL, 186. Fleet Street. * * * * * 12mo. boards. 3s. 6d. LYRA MEMORIALIS: Original Epitaphs and Churchyard Thoughts. In Verse. By JOSEPH SNOW. With an Essay, by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH. Reprinted by his permission. A new Edition, remodelled and enlarged. "The object of Mr. Snow in the volume before us is to suggest a purer taste and a more impressive style in our churchyard memorials, and by every word and thought to point through the shadow of the tomb to the brightness and light beyond it. His work is, in truth, a treasury of feeling, and we find in its simplicity its highest merit. To the clergy this volume may be of signal use."--_Theologian_. "This is truly a book of the affections; there is scarcely a page which will not touch tenderly a chord in the heart of every reader."--_Church of England Quarterly_. |
