This volume includes a number of Browning's most celebrated poems, such as Saul, Rabbi Ben Ezra, Pheidippides, Abt Vogler, etc., besides a number of his best known lyrics. The selections are sufficiently copious and varied to afford a fair knowledge of the genius of this greatest of modern poets.

The study of Browning's works is productive of mental culture and power to an unusual degree, and no course of literature study can be considered complete which does not at least introduce the student to his works.

It is the purpose of this book to render such assistance as is necessary to the comprehension of the great masterpieces of thought which he has bequeathed to the world, and at the same time to stimulate an interest in his works which shall lead to further study. To this end each of the longer poems is preceded by a suggestive analysis and such descriptive matter as is necessary. The scope of the book admits of its use in High Schools and Academies.

Journal of Education.
