By Edmund Clarence Stedman. “ We ought to he thankful to those who do critical work with competent skill ■and understanding, %mth honesty of purpose, and with diligence and thoroughness of executiott. And Mr. Stedman, havitig chosen to work in this line, deserves the thanks of English scholars by these qualities and by something more ; . . . . he is faithful, studious, atid discemhig.—Saturday Review.

With Memoir, Portrait, and Facsimiles of the Maps in the Original Edition of “Gulliver’s Travels.” “ The ‘ Tale of a Tub' is, hi my apprehension, the masterpiece of Swift; certainly Rabelais has nothing superior, even in invetition, nor anything so con~ densed, so pointed, so full of real meatimg, of biting satire, of felicitous attalogy. The ‘ Battle of the Books ' is such an improvement on the similar combat in the Lutrin, that we can hardly own it as an imitation.—Hallam. “ Swift’s reputation as a poet has been in a manner obscured by the greater splen- dour, by the naturalforce and inventive genius, of his prose writings ; but, if he hiid never written either the ’Tale of a Tub’ or ’Gulliver's Travels P his name merely as a poet would have come down to us, and have gone down to posterity, with tvell-eamed honours.—Hazlitt.
