MR. JOHN H. INGRAM'S MONOGRAPH ON POE'S 'RAVEN.'

"The steadily increasing body of Poe literature has lately received a curious addition, in the shape of a monograph on Raven,' with a literary and historical commentary, by John H. Ingram (London, George Redway). It consists of the with its variations; selections from translations in French, German, Latin, and Hungarian; a group of the more le parodies upon the poem; and an account, with extracts, of some of the fabrications in imitation of its style which , making the great hoaxer himself their prey, have tried to palm off as Poe's works......We content ourselves with nending the volume as a curious compilation, and a striking evidence of the international vogue of what was essena fugitive poem."-Nation (New York), October 29th.
