Mr. Elliot Stock's Reprint. 225 



One verse of Herbert's lines will be 

 enough : 



" Sweet day. so cool, so calm, so bright, 

 The bridal of the earth and skie ; 

 Sweet dews shall weep thy fall to-night, 

 For thou must die." 



" O ! kiihler Tag, der heiter lacht, 

 Als ob die Erde Hochzeit hab' ; 

 Es weint um Dich der Thau bei Nacht, 

 Du sinkst in's Grab.'' 



There are some very pretty fishing scenes

 lished by Bohn in 1856, with reprints 

 in 1870 and 1876. 



The Chronicle has, I am glad so see, 

 a good word for the edition published by 

 Bell & Daldy and Low in 1863, to which 

 I have referred in the Introduction to this^ 

 little volume. In 1866 and 1867 Messrs- 

 Little, Brown, & Co., of Boston, U.S.A., 

 published a reproduction of the best of 

 Major's editions, the 1844. "The wood- 

 cuts were re-engraved for this edition, and 

 are held to be finer than those employed 

 in the English issue." The steel engrav-

 1876 Mr. Elliot Stock published a 

 facsimile reprint of the first edition, 

 published in 1653. Seeing that it was 

 published when photographic processes 

 had not been brought to such perfection
