June 1869. The publication of the ‘English Reprints’ passed into the Editor’s hands on the 1st of May last. An inevitable cessation in the issue of new works ensued: but with the appearance of Howell’s _Instructions, &c._, the Series resumes its growth. A few changes have been made as to works in immediate preparation. (1) _Roister Doister_ can be published for Sixpence. (2) An early printed rarity, _The Revelation to the Monk of Evesham_, has therefore been interpolated. (3) Elyot’s _Governor_ has been postponed to next year. (4) In its stead Naunton’s _Fragmenta Regalia_, and Watson’s ἐκατομπαθία, _&c._ have been inserted. It is a great gratification to bring back from oblivion the works of so elegant a poet as Thomas Watson, of whose renown in his own age Francis Meres thus testifies in his _Palladis Tamia_, 1598. ‘As Italy had _Dante_, _Boccace_, _Petrarch_, _Tasso_, _Celiano_, and _Ariosto_: so England had _Mathew Roydon_, _Thomas Atchelow_, _Thomas Watson_, _Thomas Kid_, _Robert Greene_ and _George Peele_.’ --_p. 282_, b. ‘As _Theocritus_ in Greeke, _Virgil_ and _Mantuan_ in Latine, _Sanazar_ in Italian, and the Authour of _Amyntæ Gaudia_ and _Walsinghams Melibœus_ are the best for pastorall ....’ --_p. 284_, a. There is, however, further gratulation in that S. Christie-Miller, Esq. has generously consented to the printing of Watson’s _The Tears of Fancy_, the unique copy of which forms one of the gems of his remarkable collection at Britwell. Altogether, therefore, the Reprint will include above 150 Sonnets, besides the Latin-English elegy _Melibœus_. The temporary loan of original editions greatly facilitates the work. Gentlemen who may be willing so to trust the Editor are requested to communicate with him a considerable time in advance of date of publication.
