...shattered statue in the desert, bearing this inscription, inspired Shelley with poetic irony. How much greater must the irony have seemed to the excavators in Professor Reisner's expedition, when they brought to light on the Upper Nile a long dynasty of ancient monarchs, kings of Ethiopia for four centuries, now forgotten for more than two thousand years. Archaeology is generally considered as dry as the dust in which it works; but the account of Professor Reisner's discoveries just made public by the University, tells a romantic story. Here is a subject ready to the hand of a sentimental...
...views taken partly from the Library's own shelves, and partly from the private collections of friends. Some of the volumes have interesting personal associations. A copy of the first edition of "Endymion", lent by Mrs. Frank B. Bemis of Boston, is the copy sent by Keats to Shelley and inscribed "P. B. Shelley Esq. with J. K.'s sincere regards...
...copy of the poetical works of Coleridge, Shelley and Keats shown belonged to Leigh Hunt and bears his autograph and manuscript notes, besides letters and fragments of letters of the three poets in manuscript form.

These have been lent by Mr. Louis A. Holman of Boston. The collections will remain on exhibition until March...

We bolster our supposition with the perspective of memory which asserts that pages about Shelley are indeed more likely to be well lettered and less subject to mortality than quartos about...
...reader are incompatible? What I was trying to bring out was the point that an article need not be upon what is sometimes considered a "literary" subject in order to have merit. We who live in academic surroundings are perhaps too prone to think that if we write about Shelley we are producing literature, whereas if we write about football or the tutorial system, we are necessarily producing something inferior. The truth is that the literary merit of our work depends principally upon how it is done. To my mind the editor who does the greatest service to literature...
