A single suggestion may be made, and this is on a point quite outside the plan of the book. It has been indicated that the value of the bibliographies listed varies greatly: a scattering list is placed along- side of an exhaustive one, and the deliber- ately non-committal character of the editing gives no hint of worth or worth- lessness.* Would it not be possible in some future edition to add comments of a critical nature under man}^ of the cita- tions? To make of the volume not merely a list but a catalogue raisonne would be to enhance its usefulness. Taking the book as it stands, we find it of the highest im- portance to the study of English, and hearty congratulations are due to the more than competent editor and his more than competent collaborators.
