* READINGS IN POETRY; a Selection from the Works of the best English
Poets, from Spenser to the present times; with Specimens of the American
Poets; Notices of the Writers; and Explanatory Notes. 4_s._ 6_d._
A MANUAL of Poetry, comprising the gems of the standard English Poets.
Care has been taken to select such pieces and passages as best
illustrate the style of the respective Authors; and it is scarcely
necessary to add, that scrupulous attention has been paid to the moral
character of the extracts.
UNIVERSAL MYTHOLOGY; an Account of the most important Mythological
Systems, their Origin and Connexion. By the Rev HENRY CHRISTMAS, St.
John's Coll., Camb. 7_s._
The Mythology of Greece and Rome has hitherto been studied almost
exclusively, though neither the most important, nor the most
interesting. The systems of the East and of the North, of Egypt and of
China, would have illustrated the Greek and Roman fables, have cleared
up their difficulties, and explained their allegories. * * * * This
object has been attempted in the present work.
THE CAMBRIDGE PORTFOLIO; a Periodical Work comprising Papers
illustrative of the principal features in the Scholastic and Social
System of the University; Notices of the most Eminent Characters it has
produced; Gleanings from the Manuscripts in the several Libraries; and
Contributions in Original Literature by contemporary Members.
