GEORGE BELL & 80N8. 



THE ALDINE EDITION OF THE BRITISH POETS. 



SUPPLEMENTARY SERIES. 



THE fifty-two volumes which have hitherto formed the well-known 

 Aldine Series, embody the works of nearly all the more popular English 

 poetical writers, whether lyrio, epic, or satiric, up to the end of the 

 eighteenth century. But since that time the wonderful fertility of English 

 literature has produced many writers equal, and in some cases far superior, 

 to the majority of their predecessors ; and the widely augmented roll of 

 acknowledged English poets now contains many uamro not represented 

 in the series of " Aldine Poets." 



With a view of providing for this want, and of making a series which 

 has long held a high place in public estimation a more adequate represen- 

 tation of the whole body of English poetry, the Publishers have deter- 

 mined to issue a second series, which will contain some of the older poets, 

 and the works of recent writers, so far as may be practicable by arrange- 

 ment with the representatives of the poets whose works are still copyright. 



One volume, or more, at a time will be issued at short intervals ; they 

 will be uniform in binding and style with the last fine-paper edition of the 

 Aldine Poets, in fcap. Svo. size, printed at the Ghiswick Press. Price 

 5. per volume. 



Each volume will be edited with notes where necessary for elucidation of 

 he text ; a memoir will be prefixed and a portrait, where an authentic 

 one is accessible.
