 LORD BYRON. 



tr aSfiiron's poettcal 



SPLENDID EDITION, 



In 8 vols. 12mo, beautifully printed on fine paper. 

 "With, a Portrait of the Author. 



" This is the best edition of Lord Byron's works which has 

 been published in this country. We do not wish our readers 

 to credit the assertion without proof, and we, therefore, assign 

 the following reasons : 



" Imprimis. It is printed in eight large duodecimo volumes 

 of nearly 500 pages, in large type, on beautiful paper, with 

 neat and strong binding. 



" Secondly. It comprises all his works in their most finished 

 state, with the author's latest corrections. 



" Thirdly. It is enriched with copious notes drawn from his 

 memoirs, and his personal history, as otherwise disclosed, and 

 with critical annotations of various able writers, many of which 

 serve to trace the sources from which Lord Byron derived the 

 materials of his compositions, and embody no small portion of 

 the literary history of his times. We are not aware that these 

 rich and invalable notes are to be found in any other American 

 edition of the works of the noble bard. 



" Fourthly. The illustrative matter of this edition is evi- 

 dently collated by the able, but unknown editor, in a spirit of 

 perfect candour, without any overweening admiration of the 

 author's genius, but with a full appreciation of his powers, and 

 a clear understanding of his peculiar faults and foibles in 

 short, with a determination to do him ample justice as a poet 

 and as a man." Messenger. 



" The edition reflects the highest credit upon the publishers, 

 and is admirably suited, either for a public or a private library 

 we commend it cordially." Inquirer. 



" The style in which these eight volumes have been printed 

 and bound, reflect credit upon the liberal publishers, who have 

 made a liberal contribution to the public or private library." 

 U. S. Gazette.
