Excerpt from A Book of Light Verse Mr. Swinburne, in his essay on 'Social Verse', declared that there was no better or completer anthology than Mr. F. Locker-Lampson's Lyra Elegantiarum; a collection of some of the best specimens of vers de societe and vers d'occasion in the English language by deceased authors which was indeed incomparable, and has been heavily laid under contribution for the present volume. If Mr. Locker-Lampson were alive to bring out a twentieth-century edition of his collection, he would, as a matter of course, make many additions and omissions, especially if space had to be studied. In his 1867 edition there are 24 authors and 52 poems which find no place in that published nearly a quarter of a century later, and the latter contains 38 authors and 130 poems which the earlier volume lacks. Mr. Locker-Lampson expresses regret that he was prevented by his rule from giving specimens of the writings of living poets; the Fates have so willed that the present editor is able to include poems by Robert Browning, Lord Tennyson, Lord Houghton, Sir Theodore Martin, C. S. Calverley, Lewis Carroll, O. W. Holmes, J. R. Lowell, and others, English and American, particularly mentioned in the prefaces to Lyra Elegantiarum, as well as examples of Mr. Locker-Lampson's own delightful compositions. There are in the present collection upwards of 60 poets, contributing between them 120 poems, whose names will not be found in the last edition of the older anthology. The newer poetry has necessitated omissions, but some would have been made in any ease, for canons of taste are not fixed once for all, and an editor to-day would be foolish who did not seek to profit by the criticism of Mr. Swinburne and other fine judges of poetry.
