APPENDIX.

BOOKS OF REFERENCE.

A BRIEF list of works of reference, including important review and magazine articles, is here appended for the general and special study of English literature. The list is longer than any one, except a specialist, is likely to need. The emphasis of study should be placed, not on what critics have said about an author, but on what the author himself has written. A good biography or two, with several review articles, will usually be found sufficient to place the student in a position for the serious study of a great writer. Elaborate lists of reference will be found in Welsh's "English Masterpiece Course," and in Poole's "Index."
