 THE LIBRARY OF LITERARY HISTORY

Each with Photograpure Frontispiece, demy 8vo, cloth, 12/6

The idea of the Series is to take the intellectual growth and artistic achievement of a country and to set out the story of these in an interesting way. Each volume will be entrusted to a recognised scholar, and, when advisable, the aid of foreign men of letters will be invited.

1. A Literary History of India. By R. W. FRAZER, LL.B.

"A work which, for the first time, renders it possible for the English reader to understand the part which literature has played not only in ancient or in mediæval or in modern India, but in India from the earliest times to the present day."--The Times.

2. A Literary History of Ireland. By Dr. DOUGLAS HYDE.

"If we are not greatly mistaken, this is a book of very exceptional value and importance. We are quite certain there exists no book in English which attempts what Dr. Hyde has accomplished, namely, a clear account of the whole literature produced in Irish Gaelic, and a reasonable estimate of its value."—Spectator.

3. A Literary History of America. By BARRETT WenDELL

"Learning it has, and style, and thought; the information is full, the order lucid. Professor Wendell bas put forth an admirable, a suggestive study of his country's writers. To me every page is interesting."-Bookman.

4. A Literary History of Persia. Vol. I. From the Earliest Times until Firdawsi, By Professor E. G. Browse.

"Professor Browne, beyond doubt the first living authority on Persia, is singularly qualified to present the history of Persian thought in a scientific, and at the same time, in a popular form."—Athenaeum.

5. A Literary History of Sootland. By J. H. MILLAR.

"This is a brilliant but satisfying work. The author, .. has keenness of vision, a cultivated taste, a vivid style, and in- dependence of judgment."—Speaker.

6. A Literary History of Persia. Vol. II. From Firdawsi until Sa'dí. By Professor E. G. BROWNE.
