“_A complete and clearly printed edition of the whole works of
Spenser, carefully collated with the originals, with copious glossary,
worthy--and higher praise it needs not--of the beautiful Globe Series.
The work is edited with all the care so noble a poet deserves._”--DAILY
NEWS.
*Dryden.*--THE POETICAL WORKS OF JOHN DRYDEN. Edited, with a Revised
Text, Memoir, and Notes, by W. D. CHRISTIE.
“_The work of the Editor has been done with much fulness, care, and
knowledge; a well-written and exhaustive memoir is prefixed, and the
notes and text together have been so well treated as to make the volume
a fitting companion for those which have preceded it--which is saying
not a little._”--DAILY TELEGRAPH.
*Cowper.*--THE POETICAL WORKS OF WILLIAM COWPER. Edited, with
Biographical Introduction and Notes, by W. BENHAM.
“_Mr. Benham’s edition of Cowper is one of permanent value. The
biographical introduction is excellent, full of information, singularly
neat and readable, and modest--too modest, indeed--in its comments.
The notes seem concise and accurate, and the editor has been able to
discover and introduce some hitherto unprinted matter._”--SATURDAY
REVIEW.
*Virgil.*--THE WORKS OF VIRGIL RENDERED INTO ENGLISH PROSE, with
Introductions, Running Analysis, and an Index, by JAMES LONSDALE, M.A.,
and SAMUEL LEE, M.A. Globe 8vo.
_The preface of this new volume informs us that “the original has been
faithfully rendered, and paraphrase altogether avoided. At the same
time, the translators have endeavoured to adapt the book to the use
of the English reader. Some amount of rhythm in the structure of the
sentence has been generally maintained; and, when in the Latin the
sound of the words is an echo to the sense (as so frequently happens
in Virgil), an attempt has been made to produce the same result in
English._”
_The general introduction gives us whatever is known of the poet’s
life, an estimate of his genius, an account of the principal editions
and translations of his works, and a brief view of the influence he has
had on modern poets; special introductory essays are prefixed to the_
Eclogues, Georgics, _and_ Æneid. _The text is divided into sections,
each of which is headed by a concise analysis of the subject; the index
contains references to all the characters and events of any importance._
*** Other Standard Works are in the Press.
*** The Volumes of this Series may be had in a variety of morocco and
calf bindings at very moderate prices.
