THE LIBRARY OF LITERARY HISTORY 



Bach with Photograoure Frontispitce, demy 8otf, cloth, 16a. 



•,• The idea of the Series is to take the intellectual growth and 

 artistic achievement of a country and to set out the story of these 

 in an interesting way. Each volume will be entrusted to a recog- 

 nised scholar, and, when advisable, the aid of foreign men of letters 

 will be invited. 



1. A Literary History of India. By R. W. Frazer, 



LL.B, 

 "A work which, for the first time, renders it possible for the 

 English reader to understand the part which literature has played 

 not only in ancient or in mediaeval or in modern India, but in India 

 from the earliest times to the present day." — The Times. 



2. A Literary History of Ireland. By Dr. Douglas 



Hyde. 

 " If we are not greatly mistaken, this is a book of very exceptional 

 value and importance. We are quite certain there exists no 

 book in English which attempts what Dr. Hyde has accomplished, 

 namely, a clear account of the whole literature produced in Irish 

 Gaelic, and a reasonable estimate of its saXuQ."— Spectator. 



3. A Literary History of America. By Barrett Wen- 



dell. 



"Learning it has, and style, and thought ; the information is 

 full, the order lucid. . . . Professor Wendell has put forth an 

 admirable, a suggestive study of his country's writers. To me 

 every page is interesting." — Bookman. 



4. A Literary History of Persia. Vol. I. From the 



Earliest Times until Firdawsi. By Professor E. G. Browne. 



" Professor Browne, beyond doubt the first living authority on 



Persia, is singularly qualified to present the history of Persian 



thought in a scientific, and at the same time, in a popular fonn." 



— Athenceutn. 



6. A Literary History of Scotland. By J. H. Millar. 



" This is a brilliant but satisfying work. The author ... has 

 keenness of vision, a cultivated taste, a vivid style, and in- 

 dependence of judgment." — Speaker.
