CHAMBERS'S CYCLOPAEDIA OF ENGLISH LITERATURE; 



A Selection of the Choicest Productions of English Authors, from the 

 earliest to the present time ; Connected by a Critical and Biograph- 

 ical History. Edited by ROBERT CHAMBERS, assisted by ROBERT 

 CARRUTHEKS, and other eminent Gentlemen. Complete in two im- 

 perial octavo volumes, of more than fourteen hundred pages of double 

 column letter press ; and upwards of 300 elegant illustrations. Price, 

 in cloth, $5,00. 



V The Publishers of the AMERICAN Edition of this valuable work desire to state, that, 

 besides the numerous pictorial illustrations in the English Edition, they have greatly en- 

 riched the work by the addition of fine steel and mezzotint engravings of the heads of Shaks- 

 peare, Addison, Byron ; a full length portrait of Dr. Johnson, and a beautiful scenic repre- 

 sentation of Oliver Goldsmith and Dr. Johnson. These important and elegant additions 

 together with superior paper and binding, must give this a decided preference over all 

 other editions. 



" We hail with peculiar pleasure the appearance of this work, and more especially its 

 republication in this country at a price which places it within the reach of a great number 

 of readers. We have been inundated by a stream of cheap reprints, tending to corrupt the 

 morals and vitiate the taste of our community, and we are pleased that the publishers have 

 still sufficient faith in the purity of both, to induce them to incur the large outlay which 

 the production of the work before us must have occasioned, and for which they can expect 

 to be remunerated only by a very extensive sale." 



" The selections given by Mr. Chambers from the works of the early English writers are 

 copious, and judiciously made. ***** We shall conclude as we commenced, with ex- 

 pressing a hope that the publication which has called forth our remarks will exert an influ- 

 ence in directing the attention of the public to the literature of our forefathers."
