THE WORKS OF OLIVER GOLDSMITH: An entirely New Edition, edited and
annotated by Peter Cunningham, F.S.A., Author of the "Handbook of
London--Past and Present."
This Edition is printed from the last Editions revised by the Author, and
not only contains more pieces than any other, but it is also the first in
which the works appear together exactly as their author left them.
_The Times._--A library edition of Goldsmith's works, well edited by
Mr. Peter Cunningham, and beautifully printed, at 7s. 6d. per volume.
_Examiner._--Mr. Murray's British Classics, so edited and printed as to
take the highest place in any library.
_Spectator._--Laboured correctness of text, with sufficient annotation,
distinguishes the present volume.
_Athenæum._--Those who love to collect our standard authors in handsome
library editions, may well congratulate themselves on the issue.
_Literary Gazette._--Mr. Cunningham appears to have bestowed much pains
in obtaining the text with the author's last revisions.
_Notes and Queries._--Distinguished by skilful editorship, beautiful
and legible type, fine paper, compactness of bulk, and economy of
price.
_Guardian._--The best editions have been consulted, and the present
volume certainly gives evidence of careful and conscientious editing.
_Press._--Mr. Cunningham is an editor, not a commentator, and he does
not confound these functions. The volume is beautifully printed.
_Leader._--Goldsmith's works in four volumes, edited anew by Peter
Cunningham. It is fit for the best shelves of a library.
_Builder._--Mr. Cunningham is peculiarly well fitted for the task; his
studies have long been specially directed to the literature, manners,
and people of the last century.
