This extraordinary collection of old English poetry formed part of
the extensive library of Thomas Hill (the "Hull" of Theodore Hook
in his _Gilbert Gurney_), when he failed in business as a sugar
baker. This portion of the library, its great value not being
known to the creditors, was presented to him. He afterwards sold
it to Messrs. Longman & Co., who employed Griffiths to make out
this _catalogue raisonné_. The initials at the beginning of each
letter have very neat woodcuts of the poets from rare prints. It is
now very scarce. Thirty copies, with a colored frontispiece, were
printed on large paper.
