  Since the death of George D. Prentice, there has been a constat de-
mand for an edition of his Poems. Mr. Iliatt, who ,,as intimately associ-
ated with him, has made this collection, procuring Isis materials from
widely-scattered sources, and, in spme cases, from original maln-cripts.
It is believed to be a collection such as Mr. I'rentice himself would have
appros-ed, and it faithfully represents his abilities as a poet.
  While Mr. Prentice will always be remembered for the bright and witty
sayings which he so profuselv lavished in the columns of the Louti:-ille
7ournal, his lasting record will be found in the beautiful verses which
are collected in this volume.
  "This, we believe, is the first publication of Prentice's Poems, in a
collected shape, and it is a book that a great many people will wish to
possess-both for its intrinsic value, and as a souvenir of a friend."-St.
Louis Republican.
  " The book includes the best of many poems written by the talented
author and journalist, and is a fitting memorial of one of the ablest
men as a journalist that this country has ever produced."--Boston Trax-
scr,)t.
  " Our idea is that much Mr. Prentice has written will speak more ef-
fectively to the popular heart than many of the more pretentious product-
ions of poets of higher fame. Ilis poems are models of simplicity, sweet-
ness, and purity.-'-C ristian Standard, Cincinnati.

  This new volume has been carefully compiled from his later and better
poems, many of which have already appeared in some the best eastern
journals, which have always paid him liberally for his productions,.
  In speaking of the poem from which the new volume takes its title,
Frank Leslie's IlZustra.ed News says:
  "The author of 'Culex in Carmioa,' which won such wide popularity,
has excelled himself in the poem 'Jacob Brown,' which we publish in this
number, and which for quaintness of conceit, as well as of expression, has
few parallels in our language. In originality it certainly is not exceeded
by Harte or Hay or Joaquin Miller, while in versification it has not been
surpassed since Poe's day."
  "The title-poem is bright with humor and strong in satire. One of
the most broadly humorous poems in the volume is "Culex in Car.;nia,'
but it has a moral. Parson Giles is rather rough, but funny. The author
husbands his wit 'till the end of his poems, when it bursts out like 
rocket."-Literary World.
