LARGE PAPER EDITION OF ONE HUNDRED NUMBERED COPIES, PRINTED FROM TYPE IN 1867, BUT NOW FIRST PUBLISHED. _Illustrated with Two Finely Etched Portraits from Rare Prints._ Two Vols., 8vo, Boards, Uncut Edges, $6.00 _Mr. R. H. Stoddard_ says: “As a collection of Sonnets, it is not only the fullest ever made, but by far the best, even excelling the dainty little collection by Dyce, ... and Hunt’s exhaustive and every way admirable introductory essay is, after all, much the best part of the work. Its pages are steeped in thoughtful scholarship on this special theme, and sparkle with genial and veracious criticism.” _Mr. W. D. Howells_ says: “The Essay is printed for the first time, and it was written in Hunt’s old age; but it is full of light-heartedness, and belongs in feeling to a period at least as early as that which produced the ‘Stories from the Italian Poets.’ It is one of those studies in which he was always happy, for it keeps him chiefly in Italy; and when it takes him from Italy, it only brings him into the Italian air of English sonnetry,--a sort of soft Devonshire coast, bordering the ruggeder native poetry of the south.” _The London Saturday Review_ says: “The genuine aroma of literature abounds In every page of Leigh Hunt’s delicious Essay on the Sonnet. His mind shows itself imbued with a rich knowledge of his subject, and this, illuminated by the evidence of a thorough and unaffected liking for it, makes him irresistible.” => The above work was published by William Evarts Benjamin before the formation of the present firm.
