+6 MACMILLAN’S CATALOGUE OF Besant.—STUDIES IN EARLY FRENCH POETRY. By Walter Besant, M.A. Crown 8vo. Ss. 6d. A sort of impression rests on most minds that French literature begins with the 11siecle de Louis Quatorzeany previous literature being for the most part unknown or ignored. Feiv know anything of the enormous literary activity that began in the thirteenth century, was (tarried on by Rulebeuf Marie de France, Gaston de Foix, Thibault de Champagne, and Lorris; was fostered by Charles of Orleans, by Margaret of Valois, by Francis the First; that gave a crowd of versifiers to France, enriched, strengthened, developed, andfixed the French language, and prepared the way for Corneille and for Racine. The present work aims to afford information and direction touching these early efforts of France in poetical literature. ‘ ‘In one moderately sized volume he has contrived to introduce us to the very best, if not to all of the early French poets.”—Athenaeum. ‘ ‘Industry, the insight of a scholar, and a genuine enthusiasm for his subject, combine to make it of very considerable value.”— Spectator. Hales.—LONGER ENGLISH POEMS. With Notes, Philo- logical and Explanatory, and an Introduction on the Teaching of English. Chiefly for use in Schools. Edited by J W. Hales, M.A., late Fellow and Assistant Tutor of Christ’s College, Cam- bridge ; Lecturer in English Literature and Classical Composition at King’s College School, London; &c. &c. Extra fcap. 8vo. 4L 6 d. This work has been in preparation for some years, and part of it has been used as a class-book by the Editor for the last two years. It is intended as an aid to the Critical study of English Literature, and contains one or more of the larger poems, each complete, of prominent English Authors from Spenser to Shelley, including Burns'1 Saturday Night and Twa Dogs. In all cases the ori- ginal spelling and the text of the best editions have been given ; only in one or two poems has it been deemed necessary to make slight omissions and changes, that the 11 reverence due to boys might be well observed.'1'' I he latter half of the volume is occupied with copious notes, critical, etymological, and explanatory, calculated to give the learner much insight in the structure and connection of the English tongue. An Index to the notes is appended.
