“Its graceful editress, in her short preface, thus speaks, and most truly, of its contents: ‘Whatever is loveliest in sentiment and loftiest in aspiration is here represented: specimens of the varied forms in which gifted minds have contributed to the polish of wit, the beauty of wisdom, the sweetness of love, the power of patriotism, the holiness of piety—all that has most deeply stirred the soul of the Anglo-Saxon race for the last three hundred years, is here embodied.’ It contains copious selections from all the standard British and American Poets upon almost every subject within the range of thought. The subjects are arranged alphabetically, and a ‘Table of Contents’ at the commencement renders reference to them perfectly easy.”—_New Hampshire Patriot._ “There is nothing negative about this work; it is _positively_ good.”—_Evening Bulletin._ SPLENDID LIBRARY EDITIONS. ILLUSTRATED STANDARD POETS. Elegantly Printed and Uniform in Size and Style. The following editions of Standard British Poets are illustrated with numerous steel engravings, and may be had in all varieties of binding. BYRON’S WORKS. Complete in one vol. octavo. INCLUDING ALL HIS SUPPRESSED AND ATTRIBUTED POEMS; _With Six beautiful Engravings._ ☞ This edition has been carefully compared with the recent London edition of Mr. Murray, and made complete by the addition of more than fifty pages of poems heretofore unpublished in England. Among these there are a number that have never appeared in any American edition; and the publishers believe they are warranted in saying, that this is the _most complete edition of Lord Byron’s Poetical Works_ ever published in the United States. COWPER & THOMSON’S PROSE AND POETICAL WORKS. Complete in one vol. octavo. Including two hundred and fifty Letters, and sundry Poems of Cowper, never before published in this country; and of Thomson a new and interesting Memoir, and upwards of twenty new Poems, for the first time printed from his own Manuscripts, taken from a late edition of the Aldine Poets now publishing in London. _With Seven beautiful Engravings._ THE POETICAL WORKS OF MRS. HEMANS. Only complete edition, in one vol. octavo. WITH SEVEN BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVINGS. ☞ This is a new and complete edition, with a splendid engraved likeness of Mrs. Hemans on steel, and contains all the Poems in the last London and American editions.
