THE POEMS OF HENRY ABBEY. New, revised, and enlarged edition. Long Primer type, 264 pages, 16mo, cloth. Sold by subscription only, and sent, postage prepaid, to any address, on receipt of the price, $1.25.

Of the edition of 1879 the New York Times said: "Mr. Abbey is a thoughtful writer whose metrical quiet never deserts im. His subjects are generally grave, and he loves a moral as much as Esop. His great charm lies in his moderation; he is

more moderate and unobtrusive than Bryant, and yet now and then flashes out in a stirring burst. . . . For lovers of real poetry no recent volume of verse can be more heartily recommended than this."

The volume, which is very elaborate in illustration, with fine colored lithographic plates, maps, and wood-engravings, will be published simultaneously in England and in this country; and it is likely to meet with a success proportionate to its importance and beauty.
