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.
