A worthy addition has been made to Messrs. Warne and Co.'s “Chandos Classics” in the “Complete Poetical Works of Edgar Allan Poe,” his “Essays on Poetry” and “Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym” being included in the same volume. Mr. John H. Ingram points out that until recently all editions, whether American or English, of Poe's poems have been verbatim reprints of the first posthumous collection published at New York in 1850. Since that date other poetry has been discovered and printed, but this is the first occasion on which all have been issued in one volume. In the memoir Mr. Ingram has adapted a most judicious course, by avoiding extremes of praise and blame, and representing the gifted but unhappy Edgar Allan Poe as one who was “tempted sorely, treated badly, and suffered deeply.”
