General Outline 2 Part II. Authors and their Works .... 227 INTRODUCTION Chronology is the backbone of history — of the history of literature as of any other. Perhaps no tool is more useful to a student of literature than a well-made table of well- selected titles and dates. Of late years no better imple- ment of this kind has been devised than Mr. Frederick Ryland's "Chronological Outlines of English Literature," published in 1890. Mr. Ryland planned a work which should occupy toward literary history the position a date-book holds toward political history. In his Part I. he sought to bring " the annals of English literature into connection with general European literature and with history, so that a glance enables us to see the position that a given work occupies in the line of development"; and in his Part II. he gave an alphabetical list of authors with their principal works. Mr. Ryland hoped that Part I. would perform in some degree "the same kind of service for the student of literary history as a map does for the student of geography," while Part II. could be utilized in "studying literature from the biographical point of view." That Mr. Ryland has been successful in his hope is the testi- mony of all who have had occasion to use his invaluable manual; and the more it has been used, the more fully are its merits recognized. viii INTRODUCTION Nothing better showed Mr. Ryland's fitness for the exact- ing task he had undertaken than his omission of American authors from his main chronological table. As Mr. Ryland explained in his introduction, it was with considerable re- luctance that he included occasional American books under foreign literature, declaring that " to have placed them with the English would have suggested a misleading conception of the two literatures." Of course, in the broadest sense of the term, English literature includes all that is written in the English language, whether in Great Britain and Ireland, or in the United States of America, or anywhere in the scattered British colonies. Strictly speaking, American literature to-day and Australian literature to-morrow are parts of English literature ; and that part of English literature which is now being produced in Great Britain is, strictly speaking, British literature. With the extraordinary expansion of the English- speaking race, the stream of English literature has of neces- sity been divided, and while the current flowing in the origi- nal channel is the fullest and strongest even at the end of the nineteenth century, at least one of the other divisions is swell- ing year by year into closer rivalry. Very wisely Mr. Ryland paid little attention to these smaller streams after they left the main current, devoting himself wholly (in the nineteenth century) to the authors of Great Britain and Ireland. Thus he left the way open for any one who should desire to apply his method to the development of American literature. This is what Mr. Selden L. Whitcomb, Fellow in Literature of Columbia College, has attempted in the present volume. Mr. Whitcomb has modelled his book closely upon Mr. Ryland's, making only those modifications which were imposed upon him by the differences between the INTRODUCTION ix literary history of Great Britain and the literary history of the United States. By putting his few notes at the foot of the page, Mr. Whitcomb has been able to find space for a column devoted to British literature. He has also greatly elaborated the list of books in other languages; he has noted the dates of certain masterpieces in the allied arts; and he has strength- ened the column set apart for the record of salient facts in political history. While Mr. Whitcomb has taken the scheme of Mr. Ryland's chronology, he has not adopted the same scale. The briefer history of American literature has allowed him to enlarge his list and to broaden his standard. It would be possible to maintain the thesis that American literature began in 1809 with the publication of Irving' s "Knickerbocker's History of New York"; and certainly, with the exception of Franklin's "Autobiography," the "Federalist," and Brockden Brown's romances, scarcely any American book written before 1800 is to-day read for pleasure or by any one except special students. What was published in these United States while they were still colonies of England is of little interest from a literary point of view. Yet it is well that a chronological table should first record a few and the most typical of the many essays in religious polemics which were the chief product of the early American presses, and then that it should show also how political discussion thrust aside theological as the Revolution loomed nearer. Mr. Whitcomb has also been more liberal than Mr. Ryland in cataloguing the writings of contemporary authors — and for this liberality the reason is sufficiently obvious, I think. Especially has he been careful to note freely the " local fic- tion," as it must be called, perhaps, — the frequent recent X INTRODUCTION efforts to lay the scene of a story in parts of the country where the landscape has never before served as a background for a narrative of human life. And he has also recorded a certain number of those spasmodic successes like "The Prince of the House of David " and "The Lamplighter " and "Rutledge " and "Helen's Babies," — unique triumphs of the single- speech Hamiltons of fiction, yet not without their significance as dates in the history of literary development. The impend- ing revival of the drama in the literature of our language, more obvious now than it was five years ago when Mr. Ryland prepared his book, has led Mr. Whitcomb to give more space to the plays of the past decade or so. Mr. Whitcomb requests me to say that his book — like Mr. Ryland' s — is not a bibliography, and that it has carefully avoided completeness. Comprehensive it ought to be, of course, but its chief merit must be that it is a selection of the writings most truly representative. In any list of men of letters most worthy of record, many an author must be omitted; nor, except for good and sufficient reason, nged all the works be catalogued of even the greatest author. Any principle of selection must needs be personal ; and no doubt any lover of American literature will find in the following pages names omitted that seem to him to demand inclusion, and names included that, in his view, were better omitted. Yet the more the book is studied, the better satisfied the student will be, I believe, with Mr. Whitcomb's choice, and the more grateful for his immeasurable labour. BRANDER MATTHEWS.

Cloth. Price $1.00. Professor Willis Boaghton, Ohio University^ Athens^ OAw .• — " There is no other book like it. I am sure that you are supplying a want on < the part of teach< ers." Professor James M, Dixon, Washington University^ St. Louis^ Mo. : — " The value of * American Prose ' seems to me singularly well-timed, and the work has been efficiently done. The criticism is sympathetic, incisive, and modem. I am delighted with the book." The book has its use alike for the general reader and for the student. It brings to both, within a very moderate compass, not only illustration of American prose, but a body of thoroughly competent and discriminating criticism. Among the well-known American writers who Irave contributed critiques to this volume are Professor Trent, Professor Munroe Smith, Barrett Wendell, Edward Everett Hale, Jr., Colonel Hig- ginson, Brander Matthews, Professor Richardson, Professor Charles Eliot Norton, Professor R.

Cloth. $1.10, net. Boston Daily Advertiser: — The author has used rare discrimination in selecting the essays which he discusses, insisting that they should be of the highest class of modern literature, and that they should serve as models to the student. ^ The analy' ^s of structure and style in these volumes is most able, and the book will be found a most valuable one as a text in the higher American institutions of learning. The Beacon (Boston): — Professor Brewster's manual is intelligently planned, and the selections made are|admirable. . . . The advantage which such a work possesses over the old-fashioned text-book of rhetoric are too obvious to require comment THE MACMILLAN COMPANY, 64-«6 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK. Chicago. Boston.

" I am delighted with its possibilities for helping the pupil to grow. The plan, the style, the choice of selections and the exercises — all are excellent, and I am convinced that it is the only book now in the field which meets the needs of our Freshman Class." — Madeleine Fish, Nigh School, Quincy, Mass. PRINCIPLES OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS By GEORGE R. CARPENTER Professor of Rhetoric and English Composition in Columbia University izmo. Half leather. 75 cents " In his ' Principles of English Grammar ' Professor Carpenter has reached the high-water mark in the making of high-school text-books on this subject. In class- room use it ought to prove a very satisfactory work. The selection and arrangement of topics, and the clearness and general simphcity of exposition are among its most noticeable features. The evidences of the author's wide linguistic scholarship and his use of the historic method, as well as his citation of examples of correct usage from the best authors will give to teachers strong confidence in his book as a safe and satisfactory guide," — Charles S. Ramsay, Principal of High School, Fall River, Mass. " For intending college students the work is to be given preference over all others that we have seen, because it presents the theory or system of modern English in accordance with the results of philological research. Students will have nothing to unlearn if, at a later period, they enter upon the study of historical English." — Journal of Pedagogy. " Professor Carpenter's is essentially a new grammar. In its emphasis upon the historical development of language, in its recognition of usage as a real standard, in the educational soundness of its methods, it reflects the characteristics of the late English scholarships," — Educational Review.
