"Another of the publications of Porter & Coates, called 'The Poetry
of Other Lands,' compiled by N. Clemmons Hunt, we most warmly
commend. It is one of the best collections we have seen, containing
many exquisite poems and fragments of verse which have not before
been put into book form in English words. We find many of the old
favorites, which appear in every well-selected collection of
sonnets and songs, and we miss others, which seem a necessity to
complete the bouquet of grasses and flowers, some of which, from
time to time, we hope to republish in the 'Courier.'"--_Cincinnati
Courier_.
"A book of rare excellence, because it gives a collection of choice
gems in many languages not available to the general lover of
poetry. It contains translations from the Greek, Latin, Persian,
Arabian, Japanese, Turkish, Servian, Russian, Bohemian, Polish,
Dutch, German, Italian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese languages.
The book will be an admirable companion volume to any one of the
collections of English poetry that are now published. With the full
index of authors immediately preceding the collection, and the
arrangement of the poems under headings, the reader will find it
convenient for reference. It is a gift that will be more valued by
very many than some of the transitory ones at these holiday
times.
