RICHARDSON (1851-1913), this is a collection readers will treasure. Volume VIII: Criticisms features: . "J. Fenimore Cooper" . "Amelia Welby" . "Some Secrets of the Magazine Prison-House" . "Mr. Longfellow and Other Plagiarists" . "William Cullen Bryant" . "The Literati" (continued in Vol. IX) . and more.
