Part 21
Of all our elegant holiday books not one is more chaste and beautiful than the Artist’s Edition of Gray’s Elegy.[Q] It is the first really fine edition of the poem ever published. It could hardly have been better done. The illustrations are the work of such eminent artists as R. Swain Gifford, F. S. Church, etc., and are perfectly suited to the calm, dignified and thoughtful beauty of the poem.
A pleasing book for fireside reading is “Bright and Happy Homes.”[R] It is largely a compilation, and, too, on a subject on which much fresh and valuable matter is being constantly written. The book contains, however, the best and wisest articles on all varieties of home affairs, and can not fail to both amuse and instruct.
