Boards. “The Tales of Boccaccio are too well known to the Public, to render any critical account of their merits or demerits necessary at this period. It is sufficient, therefore, to observe of the present Edition, that the Translator has carefully improved the language of the former English Edition, and expunged many of the passages that were offensive to decency. The Book too is extremely well printed, and to it is prefixed an engraved head of the Author, from Titian, very well executed. The Editor of this Work has displayed considerable diligence in research, and skill in application, and has furnished the best life of his Author now extant. In his Advertisement he briefly notices the defects of the former Translation, and the improvements in the present, which are not more judicious than they were necessary.” _Anti-Jacobin Rev. March_ 1804. 3. ALFRED; an EPIC POEM, in Twenty-four Books. By JOSEPH COTTLE. In Two Volumes Foolscap Octavo, Price 10s. 6d. in Boards. The Second Edition, with considerable Additions. “We observe, that Mr. Cottle has, with a laudable industry, availed himself of every relic of information, which is left upon record, respecting the character and conduct of his hero. He has skilfully contrived to keep the interest of his readers awake by interweaving into his story the process and termination of his hero’s domestic distresses. By the exhibition of the perilous adventures of Alswitha, his amiable Queen, and her infant son, he happily preserves, throughout great part of his work, the pleasing, painful uncertainty of the drama. He seems to dwell with peculiar delight upon the representations of the gentler passions, and strives rather to melt the heart than to nerve the arm of heroism. He has adopted, as his model, the Odyssey in preference to the Iliad.” _Critical Review, Feb._ 1801. 4. SCENES of INFANCY; Descriptive of Teviotdale. A Poem. By JOHN LEYDEN.
