A Christmas Suggestion for the Teacher-the Home—the Librarian THE HOME BOOK OF VERSE American and English (1580-1912) Compiled by Burton E. Stevenson. Collects the best short poetry of The most comprehensive and representative collection of American It brings together in one volume the best short poetry of the English language from the time of Spenser, with especial attention to American verse. The copyright deadline has been passed, and some three hundred recent authors are included, very few of whom appear in any other general anthology, such as Lionel Johnson, Noyes, Housman, Mrs. Meynell, Yeats, Dobson, Lang, Watson, Wilde, Francis Thompson, Gilder, Le Gallienne, Van Dyke, Woodbury, Riley, etc., etc. The poems are arranged by subject, and the classification is unusually close and searching. Some of the most comprehensive sections are: Children's rhymes (300 pages); love poems (800 pages); nature poetry (400 pages); humorous verse (500 pages); patriotic and historical poems (600 pages); reflective and descriptive poetry (400 pages). No other collection contains so many popular favorites and fugitive verses. The Boston Transcript, in its article on The Year and the Writers (1912) mentioned this book three times: as one of the best selling books in the Boston bookstores, as one of the best anthologies of recent years, and, finally, as one of the best 35 books of the year. The same paper in its review characterized it as "Probably the most comprehensive and representative collection of American and English poetry ever published . . . A book that every lover of poetry will want." E. L. Schuman in The Chicago Herald:-"By far the most comprehensive and satisfactory collection of verse ever published in English." The Dial:-"Such a volume has long been desired. All previous single-volume anthologies have necessarily irritated by lack of completeness. They give us a gleaning, and not a full harvest. In this book, however, there is 'God's plenty'-the abundance of the earth and of the sea. The volume itself is one of the most compact and admirable ever issued from the American press . . Mr. Stevenson has done better than anybody else. He has given us a body of verse such as has never before been brought together in one volume." Providence Journal:-"This stupenduous collection. As a piece of bookmaking it may fairly be described as a marvel." DR. HENRY VAN DYKE writes the Compiler:-Your "Home Book of Verse" has come and I have looked through it with sincere and careful interest. I congratulate you on a great service to the reading of poetry. Of course, there are poems which are favorites of mine which are not in your book, and some which are in your book are not favorites of mine. That is natural and inevitable. But I know of no anthology of verse in a single volume which is as rich, as full, as generous, and therefore as likely to win new lovers for lyric poetry, as this book of yours. To adapt a phrase from Ruskin, it is a "king's treasury and a queen's garden." I sincerely hope it will become a "Home Book." The words of this letter are weighed, and it is yours to use as you like if you will use it all.
