In spite of the title, this is a collection of poems in the English language, none other -- although it does reach to the Scot, and Irish. Bryant selected, and composed the introduction, but did not classify or arrange the poems. The arrangement is by "mood": Of Childhood, Affections, Sorrow, Religion, Nature, Peace/War, Temperance/Labor, Freedom, Sea, Adventure, Sentiment, Fancy, Tragedy, Personal, and Humorous.
