Cowper. THE POETICAL WORKS OF WILLIAM COW- 

 PER. 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

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 1 s life, 

 an estimate of his genius, an account of the principal editions and trans- 

 lations of his works, and a brief vie^u of the influence he has had on 

 modern poets ; special introductory essays are prefixed to the Eclogues, 

 Georgics, and rEneid. 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.
