"Lays of Ancient Rome."

Among the most charming of Macauley's works for light reading are his celebrated "Lays of Ancient Rome." These scattered bits of verse have been collected and published together in a most attractive form by G. P. Putnam's Sons. The book is a small pocket edition, very tastefully bound, with clear print, and is profusely illustrated. Each of the lays is prefaced by a brief history of the event to which the poem refers. In addition to the lays. a few of Macauley's shorter poems have been appended, such as the "Battle of Ivory," the "Armada" and others. To those who love the ring of Macauley's verse, we cannot recommend a better book. [The Knickerbocker Press, G. P. Putnam's Sons. Price $1.00.
