Barrett, Glasgow. The index will be very full and comprehensive, and will In clude names of poets, titles of poems quoted and mentioned, and titles of volumes by the respective writers. There will also be classified entries of birthplaces and occupations, showing at a glance the distribution of popular poetic fancy throughout the land and through professions and trades. The index will thus Show what poems or books were published by a certain man who wrote a certain poem or volume, what poets belong to certain dis~ tricts and what trades or professions have had their poets, and who these poets were.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
