HUTCHINSON, T. 



LYRICAL BALLADS BY WILLIAM WORDS- 

 WORTH AND S. T. COLERIDGE, 1798. 



Edited with certain poems of 1798 and an Introduction 

 and Notes by Thomas Hutchinson, of Trinity College, 

 Dublin, Editor of the Clarendon Press " Wordsworth," 

 etc. Fcap. 8vo, art vellum, gilt top. 3s. 6d. net. 



This edition reproduces the text, spelling, punctuation, etc., of 1798, and gives in an 

 Appendix Wordsworth's Peter Bell (original text, now reprinted for the first time), and 

 Coleridge's Lewti, The Th7-ee Graves, and The Wanderings of Cain. It also contains 

 reproductions in photogravure of the portraits of Wordsworth (by Hancock, 1798) and 

 of Coleridge (by Peter Vandyke, 1795), now in the National Portrait Gallery. 



The publishers have in preparation further carefully annotated editions of books in 

 English literature, to be produced in the same style as their edition of the "Lyrical 

 Ballads" — not too small for the shelf, and not too large to be carried about — further 

 announcements concerning which will be made in due course. It is not intended to 

 include in this series, as a rule, the oft-reprinted "classics," of which there are already 

 sufficiently desirable issues. 



AtlienSSUm (4 col. review), — " Mr Hutchinson's centenary edition of the Lyrical 

 Ballads is not a mere reprint, for it is enriched with a preface and notes which make it 

 a new book. The preface contains much that is suggestive in explaining the history 

 and elucidating the meaning of this famous little volume. Mr Hutchinson's notes are 

 especially deserving of praise." 



St James's Gazette.—" ' Lyrical Ballads' was published September i, 1798. By a 

 happy thought this centenary is in anticipation very fitly celebrated — without fuss or 

 futilities — by the publication of an admirable reprint of ' Lyrical Ballads,' with an 

 adequate ' apparatus criticus ' by Mr T. Hutchinson, the well-known Wordsworthian 

 scholar, whose name makes recommendation superfluous. This is a book that no 

 library should be without — not the 'gentleman's library' of Charles Lamb's sarcasm, 

 but any library where literature is respected." 



Notes and Queries.—" The book is indeed a precious boon. Mr Hutchinson is in 

 his line one of the foremost of scholars, and his introduction is a commendable piece of 

 work. No less excellent are his notes, which are both readable and helpful. One can- 

 not do otherwise than rejoice in the possession of the original text, now faithfully 

 reproduced. A volume which is sure of a place in the library of every lover of 

 poetry." 



Globe. — " It is delightful to have them in the charming form given to them in the 

 present volume, for which Mr Hutchinson has written not only a very informing intro- 

 duction, but also some very luminous and useful notes. The book is one which every 

 lover and student of poetry must needs add to his collection."
