C3» This volume aims at being representative of our best sacred poetry, from the earliest 
consolidation of the language to the present time, and at giving, m concise notices, parti- 
culars of the lives and poetical characteristics of the authors. The latter purpose stamps 
it, amongst sacred selections, as well-nigh unique. Whilst in the specimens it will offer it 
will be as fresh and responsible as if it had no predecessor, it will gratetully take advan- 
tage of the labours of former collectors. Excellence is its first consideration ; but where 
poetical claims are equal, it will give a decision in favour of the less known. It relies for 
distinctiveness and individuality upon the ground of offering, of things equally good and 
beautiful, not those which are most easy, but those which are most difficult of access— of 
giving specimens of poetical piety from sources which have been unsuspected or overlooked.

*»* The Publishers have been encouraj^ed to present these carefully-eaited 
Volumes to the Public by the great success which has attended their efforts in 
the publication of works of a somewhat similar nature at the same price. During 
the last three years, upwards of Three Hundred Thousand Copies of their 
Miscellaneous 3s. 6d. Juvenile Books have been sold, and the majority of them 
remain in continuous demand. 
Guided by the suggestions of this experience, the endeavour has been, in the 
present series of • BOOKS WITH A MiiANlNG,' to unite in a high degree all 
the excellences, Literary, Artistic, and jNlechanical, which can render it at once 
agreeable and valuable— pleasing to the young, and a help to the old.
