ENGLISH LITERATURE & BIBLIOGRAPHY.-cont.

The Poems of CUTHBERT SHAW and THOMAS RUSSELL. Edited, with an Introduction and Notes by Eric Partridge, M.A., B.Litt., Oxon., author of Eighteenth-Century English Romantic Poetry," etc. Cr. 8vo., boards, with linen back and paper label. 7s. 6d. net.

[ocr errors]

Limited edition of 575 copies.

The Editor, a keen observer of XVIIIth Century Literature, brought out in 1924 his "Eighteenth Century English Romantic Poetry." Among the lesser figures that he treated, he noted as especially interesting the ill-starred Cuthbert Shaw, whose verse was satirically and lyrically spontaneous, and that delicate cultured and delightful poet, Thomas Russell. And to this interest he has given realisation in the present volume, which includes all the known printed verses of these writers (both unjustly neglected) and a brief scholarly notice, which, biographical and critical, will indicate to students and general readers alike that here may be found an attractive emotional poet in Shaw and an exquisite soneteer and lyrist in Russell. Both serve to throw an intriguing side-light on a period that is either too often or too exclusively called the Century of Reason. WILLIAMS. Seven Bibliographies of the Eighteenth Century. With Introductory Essays. By Iola Williams. The Authors dealt with are Goldsmith, Collins, Akenside, Shenstone, Sheridan, Armstrong, and Churchill. Demy 8vo. 18s. net.

Mr. Williams is so well known as the Bibliographical Expert of the LONDON MERCURY that he needs no introduction to that wide public which is interested in the science of books. This volume more than bears out his knowledge of the literature of the Eighteenth Century and also his extraordinary capacity for research. So complete is the bibliographical information that we venture to say that this volume will be for many years the standard work of reference on the first editions of these different authors.

SCIENTIFIC.

WILSON. The Lilies of Eastern Asia. By Ernest H. Wilson, M.A. (Ass Director of the Arnold Arboretum, U.S.A.). With sixteen half-tone illustra imp. 8vo. 1 5s. net.

Since Elwes' famous book published in 1880, this is the only impo botanical work on the Genus Lilium. Although in the rest of the world that is new to science has been discovered about lilies since 1880, yet the colled made by Dr. Henry, Mr. George Forrest, Mr. Wilson himself and many of in China and Eastern Asia, are of the greatest importance, not only to bota science but also to the horticultural world. Most of the Lilies mentioned in monograph are now growing in our gardens.

Mr. Wilson not only gives a complete discussion and botanical descri of each of the forty-seven Eastern species together with their varieties, but advises as to their successful cultivation, which should be of inestimable v to the horticulturist.

Mr. Wilson has spent many years on this work, and we can confid assert that it is one of the most important books on a single genus that appeared in recent years.
