DISCOVERY 



and the prohlcm is to rearrange each set in descending 

 order of merit. 



Which is the poorest poetry, and which the best, of 

 these ? — 



Music, when faint voices cease. 



Continues in the memory — 

 Odours, when tlie violets fade, 



Linger where their smell was made. 



Music lives in the memory, 



Though the songster's voice is done. 



Sweet odours haunt the nose. 



Though the violets that waked them are gone. 



Music, when soft voices die. 



Vibrates in the memory — 

 Odours, when sweet violets sicken. 



Live within the sense they quicken. 



Altogether an interesting book ; very American, 

 with a great deal of sound sense and helpful advice in 

 its pages.

New Studies of a Great Inheritance. Being lectures on 

 the Modern Worth of some Ancient Writers. By 

 R. S. Conway, Litt.D., F.B.A. (John Murray, 

 7s. bd.) 



The lectures deal with the inner experience of Cicero, 

 Horace as poet laureate, the youth of Vergil, the fall of 

 Cornelius Callus (published originally in the first number 

 of Discovery), the place of Dido iii the history of Europe, 

 and other subjects. The treatment is simple, interesting, 

 scholarly. The lectures are designed to represent some 

 of the elements in the work of the ancient writers, 

 especially those of Rome, which make their study of 

 permanent value ; and, in particular, to indicate as clearly 

 as possible how much in the ethical framework of modern 

 society may be traced directly to their teaching.
