ESSAY ON POETRY.
In One Volume, crown 8vo.

By E. S. Price 95.

"This book is one of the most remarkable emanations of the present time. It actually overflows with the nectar of thought.

Amidst the intricacies of his complex subject, Mr. Dallas moves with the calm precision of one who knows the labyrinth.”—Leader.
