ments of literature - especially when that study is directed by Macaulay. There are probably but two other books on the list of entrance requirements in English literature, as adopted by the Association of New England Colleges, that are as fruitful of wholesome results to the student as is a critical comparative study of Macaulay's Essays on Milton and Addison.

In this comparative study of the two essays the instructor will not neglect to bring out, incidentally, the differences, particularly in style, due to the fact that the one was written in Macaulay's youth, the other in his maturity.

The main features of the present volume are:

1. A carefully selected text, the result of a comparison, word by word, of the best English edition, published during Macaulay's lifetime, and with his correction and revision; and four other standard editions of more recent publication.

2. A carefully selected consensus of opinion concerning Macaulay as an essayist.

3. A selected list of the best critical and biographical references on Macaulay.

4. One selection from Macaulay's poems, "The Battle of Ivry."

A classified table of all of Macaulay's Essays, historical, biographical, literary, critical, etc., was prepared for this edition, but the limits of the book precluded its insertion.
