A list of Dr. Bland's most important and best known literary works will be found elsewhere in this volume. He is preeminently a poet of California, and will be put forward, at the next session of the state legislature as a candidate for the honor of poet-laureate-ship of the state. As his poetry shows, his conservative but adaptive genius has mastered and moulded to modern thought the time-tried forms of verse. The general esteem in which Dr. Bland is held may be summed up by the following personal tribute by Robert COUCHMAN, San Jose Newspaper-man:

“Poet and teacher, soft and sweet thy song,

As low and haunting as an evening bird

Casts on the cool, still air, rippling along

From silence unto silence. I have heard

Such songs, dear friend, from unseen bird and thee;

They echo in my heart unceasingly.”
