To the present Editor was committed the task Of revising the original work, and adding thereto selections from the modern British and American poets. This required the examination of a multitude of volumes, and much care and study, in order to exhibit, as far as possible, the characteristic excellence of each author. A difficult and delicate task it is to select from living poets, - especially when there are so many! The index shows an array of over four hundred authors; thus, at a glance, may be seen how wide has been the field Of research.
