Abstract

The article presents information on the book "The Home Book of Verse," by Burton E. Stevenson. This volume is enlarged to more than four thousand pages, on India paper, and is a sterling example of good presswork. The compiler has carefully heeded the constructive criticism evoked by his previous editions, and the book has so far gained in character and prestige that it may now probably be called definitive. The author's striking and admirable discriminations against every influence that tends to impair the practice of poetry will appear upon examination of his work, and the reader can also with very little trouble gain a sense of the steadfastness of judgment required to make them.
