The Poetry of Earth. (G. G. Harrap and Co. 2s.

6d. net.)— This "Nature Anthology" is a collection of poems, parts of poems, and extracts in prose from great writers, bearing on the subject of Nature. First come some pages of "Forethoughts" ; then follow the twelve months of the year, each having appropriate passages grouped under its name. The extracts seem well chosen, but happening to look under "November," we find Miss Celia Theater telling us that "there is no colour in the world,"—not mach at the end of the month, it may be, but there is not a little at the beginning.
