-ljL Edited by the Kev. K. A. Willmott. With an Original Portrait. 
"We now close a volume over which we have gossiped with pleasure, which 
appears to have been a labour of love with the editor. Akenside and Dyer are as 
deeply indebted to Mr. Willmott as that part of the public who know how to appre- 
ciate poetry, or are willing to be guided by those who do."— A ihenceum.

V>' ture sketch of the Poet's Life and Genius, by the Rev. R. A. 
Willmott. 
"Of the four poems which are everywhere known and read, 'Paradise Lost' wins 
higher reverence ; the * Seasons* stir the pulse with a wider rapture ; the * Night 
Thoughts' unveil grander visions of the soul and its glories ; but the ' Task' is felt tp 
be the chojsen, the dear, the familiar friend."— ^.r/rac/ from Frejace.

POPE'S POETICAL WORKS. With Notes by Dr. 
Carey. 
" Hazlitt asks, * Shall we shut up our books and seal up our senses to please the 
dull spite and inordinate vanity of those who have eyes, but they see not, ears, but 
they hear not, and understandings, but they understand not, and go about asking 
whether Pope was a poet or not ! It will never do. The Rape of the Lock is a 
double-refined essence of wit and fancy, as the es^ay on Criticism is of wit and sense. 
The Epistle of Eloise to Abelard is fine as a poem ; it is finer as a piece of high- 
wrought eloquence.' " 
MILTON'S POETICAL WORKS. Carefully Revised 
from the Text of Thomas Newton, D.D. 
■** Milton possesses sublimity enough to command our fear, and gentleness enough 
to awaken our affections. He unites the fancy of Shakspeare to the majesty of 
^schylus. The humblest thought, subjected to the alchemy of Milton's genius, 
becomes transmuted into something precious and costly." 
THOMSON AND BEATTIE'S POETICAL WORKS; 
including GII^BERT WEST, and BAMPFYLDE. 
*' Place the * Seasons' in any light, and the poem appears faultless. The episodes 
are delicious, the versification richly harmonious, and the sentiments so pure, that 
the reader cannot fail to become better and wiaer by its perusal."— S. C, Jiall,
