MacMillan & Co. have recently published "Studies and Appreciations," a book by Professor L. E. Gates. The book is a collection of critical essays on the various schools of literary thought, on some of the prominent waiters and on the noted works of the literature of recent times. The first two essays discuss the Romantic movement in England led by Byron and Shelley, and the subsequent reaction against the passionate individualism of their school. The several essays in which Professor Gates treats the work of single authors are extremely thorough and very apt in expression. The analysis of Poe's employment of terror in his stories is the most striking and effective of Professor Gates's criticisms on the work of individual authors.
A recent number of the Nation Comments on the book as follows: "Reflecting on this book as well as on one or two others recently issued from our institutions of learning, we have no misgivings as to the immediate future of Academic criticism among us."
