five articles on Tennyson to SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE, volume 6. BROWNING An enormous literature of comment, appreciation and interpretation has grown up around Browning, largely due to the work of various Browning societies in this country and in Europe. The London Browning Society especially has brought out many papers that will be of interest to Browning students. Other works are Arthur Symons, _Introduction to the Study of Browning_ (London, 1886); G.W. Cooke, _Browning Guide Book_ (New York, 1901); Fotheringham, _Studies_ (London, 1898); Stedman, _Victorian Poets_; Prof. Hiram Corson, _Introduction to Browning_; George E. Woodberry, _Studies in Literature and Life_; Hamilton W. Mabie, _Essays in Literary Interpretation_; A. Birrell, _Obiter Dicta_; George Saintsbury, _Corrected Impressions_. The first edition of Browning's poems appeared in two volumes in 1849, a second in three volumes in 1863 and a third in six volumes in 1868. A revised edition containing all the poems was issued in sixteen volumes in 1888-1889. A fine complete edition in two volumes, edited by Augustine Birrell and F.G. Kenyon, was issued in 1896, and Smith, Elder & Co., London, brought out a two-volume edition in 1900. In this country the Riverside edition of _Browning's Poetical Works_ in six volumes, issued by Houghton, Mifflin & Co., and the Camberwell edition in twelve handy volumes, with notes by Charlotte Porter and Helen A. Clarke, published by Crowell, are valuable for Browning students. The standard life is _The Life and Letters of Robert Browning_, by Mrs. Sutherland Orr, but valuable are _The Love Letters of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning_, issued by Browning's son in 1899. For Edmund Gosse's _Robert Browning--Personalia_ the poet supplied much of the material in notes. Good short sketches and estimates are Chesterton's _Browning_ in the English Men of Letters series and Waugh's _Robert Browning_. GEORGE MEREDITH The standard edition of Meredith's works is the Boxhill edition in seventeen volumes, with photogravure frontispieces, issued in this country by the Scribners. The same text is used in the Pocket Edition in sixteen volumes, which does not include the unfinished novel, _Celt and Saxon_. A mass of comment on Meredith may be found in the
