Being a Short Selection for every day in the year from Twelve Poets, one for each month.

With an Introduction by GEORGE SAINTSBURY.

' An admirable little book ; perhaps the best of its kind in existence. . . . We can heartily commend this charming 'Calendar of Verse.' If we had not praised it as a string of pearls, we should have called it a book of gold.' - Glasgow Herald.

' Delightful to handle and to look at, delightful to read in. No extract exceeds twenty lines. The purpose of the volume is not that of introduction, much less of substitution, but rather to remind and refresh ' - Speaker.

'To the teacher who has not always time nor opportunity to consult all the larger books upon which this is based, it will come as a boon.

'A fresh and valuable book. ... A remarkably good condensation. . . . The book is an exceedingly suggestive one.' - Glasgow Herald.
