    through the one immediately escapes through the other . The lad is not * hopelessly stupid ; he personifies the via inerticB ; 'he is indifferent ,

    and takes but one step at a time . If you want I to see the good average English schoolboy in all his glory , make him write out a rttle in

    . Sacred Song , ' with notes explanatory and biographical , by Francis T . Palgrave , Professor of Poetry in the University of Oxford . Large

    I paper edition . In this beautiful volume Pro-3 fessor Palgrave gives us choice selections from S th 0 lyrical poetry of England during the last

    four centuries . He states that his first aim has been to offer poetry for poetry sake ; and , as student of English literature is aware

    J a every he brings to the task not merely an established , 9 reputation , but critical judgment and > good taste . The arrangement is for the most part

    chronological but poems of ' cognate character , whether in style or in thought , have been often grouped together' Professor Palgrave believes

    . ^ that a book planned for popular use is apt to defeat its own obj ect by •/ adherence to

    unfamiliar modes of spelling ; he has accordingly dispensed with the quaint spelling of the past , though , at the same time , scrupulous care has

    been taken to prevent any verbal changes in the text . The selection is comprehensive and Catholic , but many most beautiful and uni-. versallpopular hymns do not because

    y appear they do not , in Professor Palgrave ' s opinion ; reach the level of s true poetryTranslations
