"The editor shows a wide acquaintance with the most precious treasures of English verse, and has gathered the most admirable specimens of their ample wealth. Many pieces which have been passed by in previous collections hold a place of honor in the present volume, and will be heartily welcomed by the lovers of poetry as a delightful addition to their sources of enjoyment. It is a volume rich in solace, in entertainment, in inspiration, of which the The session may well be coveted by every lover of poetry. pictorial illustrations of the work are in keeping with its poetical contents, and the beauty of the typographical execution entitles it to a place among the choicest ornaments of the library."-New York Tribune. pos "Cyclopædias of poetry are numerous, but for sterling value of its contents for the library, or as a book of reference no work of the kind will compare with this admirable volume of Mr. Coates. It takes the gems from many volumes, culling with rare skill and judgment."-Chicago InterOcean. "A more popular, more appropriate, or more elegant work could hardly be conceived for the holidays than The Fireside Encyclopædia of Poetry.' It is elegant but not showy, and there is not a poem of note that is not contained Works of the kind have previously appeared, but none could compare with it in comprehensiveness nad finish."-Chicago Times. between its covers. "Mr. Coates has been a most earnest and pains-taking compiler. He has not been content to skim the surface of poets but has gone down into the depths, has hunted in the nooks and corners, and has brought before the public many quaint gems of old time lore, many charming pieces of modern production that have escaped, until now, public notice, and has not, so far as our examination has shown us, omitted any of the standard pieces that in such a volume we expect to find."-Philadelphia Times. "The title The Fireside Encyclopædia,' well defines the character of the work. The compiler has rejected nothing that is familiar simply because it is familiar. While young readers will find in the twelve hundred and forty-five poems by over four hundred authors a most excellent introduction to the literature of poetry, their elders will be pleased to Mr. recognize old friends and to renew pleasant memories. Coates has, with admirable discrimination, shown how a compiler may neglect the prickles and assume the rose.' His nosegay of culled flowers,' without being confined to merely harmless, hueless, and scentless blossoms, is a bouquet for the purest innocence to enjoy."-Philadelphia Ledger. "Lovers of good poetry will find this one of the richest collections ever made. All the best singers in our language are represented, and the selections are, generally, those which reveal their highest qualities. The lights We are and shades, the finer play of thought and imagination be- "The work certainly contains a great deal of the best poetry in the English language, and that it will prove a popular collection cannot be doubted."-Congregationalist. "No lover of poetry can turn the leaves of this book without being struck by the compiler's sense of the value of true poetical expression and the discrimination which very rarely misleads him."-Boston Advertiser. "On the whole, though many will claim that the selections strongly mark the personal taste of the editor, it will be conceded that the collection is fairly representative, and one of the best and most complete ever made.' "-Boston Post. "The work is one of the most complete and sumptuous of its class."—Cincinnati Gazette. "The Fireside Encyclopædia' is one of the most complete collections of gems of English poetry that has yet been gotten out. The compiler has shown a fine taste in gathering those lesser poems that one often likes to read over again, and they are here so grouped as to gain, rather than lose, by a new setting."-Baltimore Gazette. "The most complete work of the kind ever published.”— Indianapolis Sentinel. The "It is a very good collection, and has merits of its own which must command favor and patronage. Among these merits we commend; 1st, the topical arrangement of contents. This may not always be exactly correct according to the reader's idea, but certainly it is a more convenient arrangement for persons seeking poems on a given subject, than any other; ad. the carefully prepared indexes, and 3d, the large, but none too large space given to American poets. editor has done his work well, and whoever buys this book will provide himself a fireside companion worthy of all his leisure time for many an evening. The publishers have given their patrons a book which will be an ornament to their libraries or to their parlor tables. It is a book which will be a source of constant pleasure as well as profit to any one who may be fortunate enough to possess it."-Watch FOR SALE BY ALL BOOKSELLERS.
