Standard. — Quite one of the most interesting periods in the entire annals of 

 English Letters comes into view in the present volume — the ninth of an 

 admirable series. We are confronted with the growth of the newspaper 

 and the novel, the essay raised to the height of a classic, the extension of 

 University learning with its outcome in history and philosophy, and much 



else that is significant The literary vigour and critical discrimination 



which marks almost the whole of the present survey is a matter for con- 

 gratulation.
