_The most valuable single volumes to one who wishes to make a study of
eighteenth and nineteenth century English writers are: "A Study of
English Prose Writers" and "A Study of English and American Poets" by
J. Scott Clark. (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. Price, $2 net a
volume.) These two volumes will give any one who wishes to make a
study of the authors I have discussed the material for a mastery of
their works. Under full biographical sketches the author gives
estimates of the best critics, extracts from their works and a full
bibliography, including the best magazine articles._

MACAULAY

The editions of Macaulay are so numerous that it is useless to
attempt to enumerate them. A standard edition was collected in
1866 by his sister, Lady Trevelyan. Four volumes are devoted
to the history and three to the essays and lives of famous
authors which he wrote for the _Encyclopedia Britannica_.
Macaulay's essays, which have enjoyed the greatest popularity
in this country, may be found in many forms. A one-volume
edition, containing the principal essays, is issued by several
publishers. Sir George Otto Trevelyan's _The Life and Letters
of Lord Macaulay_ in two volumes (1876) is a more interesting
biography than Lockhart's _Scott_. The best single-volume
estimate of Macaulay is J. Cotter Morison's _Macaulay_ in the
English Men of Letters series. Good short critical sketches of
Macaulay and his work may be found in Sir Leslie Stephen's
_Hours in a Library_, volume 2, and in Lord Morley's _Critical
Miscellanies_, volume 2.

SCOTT

The edition of Scott, which was his own favorite, was issued
in Edinburgh in forty-eight volumes, from 1829 to 1833. Scott
wrote new prefaces and notes for this edition. Another is the
Border edition, with introductory essays and notes by Andrew
Lang (forty-eight volumes, 1892-1894). The recent editions of
Scott are numerous for, despite all criticisms of his careless
style, he holds his own with the popular favorites of the day.
Of his poems a good edition was edited by William Minto in two
volumes, in 1888. _The Life of Scott_ by his son-in-law, J.G.
Lockhart, is the standard work. This was originally issued in
seven volumes but Lockhart was i
