Garner, An English. New Edition in preparation.

This Miscellany embodies the results of more than fifteen years’ persistent search after the rarest and most valuable Tracts and Poems in our Literature that are not generally known. Only one copy now survives of the original edition of many of these Texts; and that copy is often not to be found in any Public Library.

These volumes constitute a charming Pleasure Series of English Literature; full of most varied and graphic Narratives, and of most delightful and diversified Poetry.

But a much higher use than that can be made of this English Garner. All History is ultimately based upon eye-witness testimony, or upon written documents. This Series will throw floods of light upon many little-known facts, or periods, of England’s past story.

An English Garner also contains many hundreds of Poems, many of them written in the Golden Age of English Song. This Poetry represents almost every conceivable form of English versification; and its topics range

‘From grave to gay, from lively to severe;’

or, to put it in another way, from Sir J. Davies’ poem on the ‘Immortality of the Soul,’ down to ‘Old King Cole.’
