Gosse, Edmund William, M.A., son of P. H. Gosse, infra: b. 1849, in London; educated in Devonshire; appointed assistant librarian at the British Museum in 1867; translator to the board of trade since 1875, and Clark lecturer in English literature at Trinity College, Cambridge, since 1884. He visited Norway, Denmark, and Sweden in 1872 and 1874, and Holland in 1877, while studying the literature of those countries, and in 1884-85 lectured at the Lowell Institute at Boston and at Harvard and Yale Colleges and Johns Hopkins University. 1. On Viol and Flute, Lon., 1873, 12mo; new ed., 1875.

Mr. Gosse has been with the Lotus-eaters, and his song has the grateful, murmuring sound which reminds one of the softness and deliciousness of summer-time.... In the love of which Mr. Gosse sings physical sensations hold too prominent a place: the body has often more to do with it than the soul.... When Mr. Gosse writes simply he writes well."-Spectator, xlvii. 18.

"Hitherto readers wishing to know all that Gray had written were forced to consult four distinct publications obtain of the poet's publications in prose and verse is inof various forms and sizes. Now all that it is possible to serted in these well-printed volumes. There are also some manuscript additions. . . . When an editor does his part as well as Mr. Gosse has done, the reviewer, having no errors to discover or omissions to lament, can but thank him for a task which could never have been achieved so perfectly without the most exact and persistent labour."Ath., No. 2985.

From Shakspeare to Pope: an Inquiry into the Causes and Phenomena of the Rise of Classical Poetry in England, Cambridge, 1885, p. 8vo.

"The lectures published in this volume were delivered by Mr. Gosse as Clark Lecturer of Trinity College, Cambridge, . . . and they also have been read before several academic audiences' in America. ... Mr. Gosse expresses the hope that he has been able to show that the classical movement was not a stupid decline into dulness, but that it was an absolute necessity, if English poetry was to exist, that a period of executive severity and attention to form should succeed the hysterical riot of the Jacobeans.' The process by which this conclusion is reached will into light that has been neglected hitherto, he abounds with suggestions, and when for a moment he is allured from his main line of argument by some poetic memory or illustration his talk is delightful."-4th., No. 3030.

"The story of Erik Eiegod, King of Denmark, has long been dear to Northern minstrelsy, and now it has been told by Mr. Gosse with a pathetic grace which ought to endear it to English hearts as well."-Sat. Rev., xli. 596.

4. The Unknown Lover: a Drama, [in verse,] for Private Acting: with an Essay on the Chamber-Drama in England, Lon., 1878, p. 8vo.

"A charming little piece of drama. It has play [plot?] and incident, while at the same time it has a poetical, a musical, quality. . . . The writer has observed carefully the limitations proper to the genre to which his piece belongs."-EDWARD DOWDEN: Acad., xiii. 138.

5. Studies in the Literature of Northern Europe, Lon.,

1879, p. 8vo; new ed., 1883.

"He has travelled through all the literature of the Teutonic North, and his ten essays are, as it were, Reise-bilder, vivid sketches of travel, full of learning, of humour, and of personal emotion."-Sat. Rev., xlvii. 404.

6. New Poems, Lon., 1879, p. 8vo. "Technically speaking. Mr. Gosse's New Poems' might be classed as idyls and lyrics; but the lyrical element preponderates. His songs, as a rule, are the expression of emotion rather than of passion. . It is one great charm of these verses that they seem to come to the poet uncalled, to be the natural and necessary expression of his mood. Yet natural as they are-so natural that, granted the intensity of emotion, the musical utterance follows like a logical conclusion-the artistic expression is never neg. lected."-Sat. Rev., xlviii. 637.

Lon., 1883, 8vo.

"The reader who closes Mr. Gosse's book after reading it will do more than know more about the particular persons of whom he has been reading. He will understand (because he will have had a kind of bird's-eye view of them) the tendencies and strivings, the form and the pressure, of the whole transition time between the two Augustan ages, and he will understand also, as perhaps he has never understood before, how and why the one succeeded the other."-Sat. Rev., lvi. 603.

"It contains much new and interesting information, and embodies the research and the judgment of a scholar who knows his subject intimately. ... But for those who were expecting to hear some authoritative word upon the literary revolution which cast down Shakspere and enthroned Pope, it is too much to find Mr. Gosse come forward smiling with sheets of anecdotical biography."Acad., xxviii. 350.

(The accuracy of this book on certain points, and Mr. Gosse's knowledge of the subject, were impugned in an article by J. Churton Collins in the Quarterly Review, Spectator, lix. 1452, the Athenæum, No. 3080, &c.) 19. which called forth letters and articles in reply in the

Firdausi in Exile, and other Poems, Lon., 1885, 18mo.

"Mr. Gosse's verse is so smooth and fluent that the reader

is apt to forget how difficult it is to tell a story like this ['Firdausi'] in fifty-four stanzas, more difficult in rhyme arrangement than the ottava rima, inasmuch as one of the Though the influence of Mr. Matthew Arnold is perhaps rhyme-sounds is repeated four times in the stanza.. too apparent in the idyllic poems, such as A Ballad in the Upper Thames,' Mr. Gosse shows a true love of Nature and a true eye for her various moods."-Ath., No. 3039.

21. Life of William Congreve, ("Great Writers,") Lon., 1888, 12mo.

"It does not tell us much about Congreve personally, because there is little to tell; but it corrects some misconcuracy, and gives us a just general conception of what ceptions, fills up some blanks, reduces some dates to acsketches very completely the history of the stage during Congreve was to his contemporaries; and, besides this, it the poet's connection with it."-Nation, xlvii. 255.

Most of his works were illustrated by his own hand, often with colored plates, and they retain a value in the market on account of their artistic excellence.

"The author of a compendious history of any kind should mentally address himself to two opposite classes of possible readers,-namely, those who are utterly ignorant of the subject of which he treats, and those to whom it is perfectly familiar. Messrs. Gostwick and Harrison have very carefully consulted the wants of the two opposite classes to which we have referred, and consequently of the various classes which may be ranged on a graduated scale from one extreme to the other.'-Sat.

Gould, John, F.R.S., [ante, vol. i., add.,] 18041881. The catalogue of scientific papers compiled by the Royal Society shows that up to 1873 there had been two hundred and twenty-nine contributed by Gould, and this number was afterwards considerably increased. Of his vast collection of birds and mammals, the Australian birds are in the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, and the humming-birds and Australian mammals in the South Kensington Museum. His books, which include more than forty folio volumes, now command enhanced prices for the beauty of their illustrations as well as for the value of the text. Most of them were originally published in parts. Add to the list given ante, vol. i.: 1. A Monograph of the Trochilidæ, or Family of Humming-Birds, 1849-61, 5 vols. imp. fol. Separate volume, entitled "An Introduction to the Trochilidæ, or Family of Humming-Birds," 1861, 8vo. Supplementary

(25 parts) imp. fol. In the final volume the author writes in reference to the illustrations in his works,

Many of the public are quite unaware how the colouring of these large plates has been accomplished, and not a few believe that they are produced by some mechanical process, or by chromo-lithography. This, however, is not the case: every sky with its varied tints, and every feather of each bird, were coloured by hand; and when it is considered that nearly two hundred and eighty thousand illustrations in the present work have been so treated, it will cause some astonishment to those who give the subject a thought."

But while he [the reader] may regret that Mr. Baring-Gould has not done more with his materials, we will not deny their abundance, and it will be his own loss if he foregoes the pleasure and the profit of reading these entertaining volumes."-Sat.

NOTICES OF MR. BARING-GOULD'S NOVELS:
"Wild, singular, extraordinary, as the conceptions and
combinations of the author of Mehalah' are, they are
almost if not entirely removed from the realm of imagi-
nation. It is on this fact, as we believe, that their value
and their chance of endurance as literature rest. The
stories of English rural life which have followed Mehalah'
form each in its way bits of human history, studies of
eccentric development, scenes from the comedy of unso-
phisticated life, which have an interest different from what
we accord to the flights of more exclusively imaginative
writers."-Sat. Rev., Ixiv. 667.

"Of our eight or ten living novelists of merit, few have greater ability than Mr. Baring-Gould. His characters are bold and forcible figures, his wit is as ready as his figures of speech are apt. He has a powerful imagination, and is quaintly fanciful. When he describes a storm one can see his trees breaking in the gale. So enormous and accurate is his general information that there is no trade or profession with which he does not seem to be familiar. So far as scientific knowlege is concerned, he is obviously better equipped than any contemporary writer of fiction. Yet one rises from his books with a feeling of repulsion, or at least with the glad conviction that his ignoble views of life are as untrue as the characters who illustrate them. Here

is a melancholy case of a novelist, not only clever but sincere, undone by want of sympathy."-J. M. BARRIE: Contemporary Rev., February, 1890.
