CHEAP BOOKS PUBLISHED BY GR1GG & ELLIOT. 



cellaneous writings of Bishop Heber, the -' Course of Time' by Pollok, and the 

 rich, various, and splendid productions of the Rev. George Crabbe, are among the 

 standard works, the classics of our language. To obtain and preserve them in 

 one volume, cannot but be a desirable object to their admirers." And it is to be 

 hoped it will be found in the library of every family. 



A writer in the Boston Traveller holds the following language with reference to 

 these valuable editions : 



. Mr. Editor I wish, without any idea of puffing, to say a word or two upon the 

 "Library of English Poets" that is now published at Philadelphia, by Grigg & 

 Elliot ; it is certainly, taking into consideration the elegant manner in which it is 

 printed, and the reasonable price at which it is afforded to purchasers, the best 

 edition of the modern British Poets that has ever been published in this country. 

 Each volume is an octavo of about 500 pages, double columns, stereotyped, and 

 accompanied with fine engravings, and biographical sketches, and most of them 

 are reprinted from Galignani's French edition. As to its value we need only men- 

 tion that it contains the entire works of Montgomery, Gray, Beattie, Collins, By- 

 ron, Cowper, Thomson, Burns, Milton, Young, Scott, Moore, Coleridge, Rogers, 

 Campbell, Lamb, Hemans, Heber, Kirk White, Crabbe, the Miscellaneous Works 

 of Goldsmith, and other martyrs of the lyre. The publishers are doing a great 

 service by their publication, and their volumes are almost in as great demand as 

 the fashionable novels of the day, and they deserve to be so, for they are certainly 

 printed in a style superior to that in which we have before had the works of the 

 English Poets.
