This edition includes the whole of Goldsmith’s Miscellaneous Works—the Vicar of Wakefield, Plays, Poems, &c. Of the memoir the Scotsman newspaper writes: “Such an admirable compendium of the facts of Goldsmith’s life, and so careful and minute a delineation of the mixed traits of his peculiar character, as to be a very model of a literary biography.”
Pope.—THE POETICAL WORKS OF ALEXANDER POPE. Edited, with Memoir and Notes, by Professor Ward.
“The book is handsome and handy. . . . The notes are many, and the matter of them is rich in interest.”—Athenæum.
Spenser.—THE COMPLETE WORKS OF EDMUND SPENSER. Edited from the Original Editions and Manuscripts, by R. Morris, Member of the Council of the Philological Society. With a Memoir by J. W. Hales, M.A., late Fellow of Christ’s College, Cambridge, Member of the Council of the Philological Society.
“A complete and clearly printed edition of the whole works of Spenser, carefully collated with the originals, with copious glossary, worthy—and higher praise it needs not—of the beautiful Globe Series. The work is edited with all the care so noble a poet deserves.”—Daily News.
Dryden.—THE POETICAL WORKS OF JOHN DRYDEN. Edited, with a Revised Text, Memoir, and Notes, by W. D. Christie.
“The work of the Editor has been done with much fulness, care, and knowledge; a well-written and exhaustive memoir is prefixed, and the notes and text together have been so well treated as to make the volume a fitting companion for those which have preceded it—which is saying not a little.”—Daily Telegraph.
Cowper.—THE POETICAL WORKS OF WILLIAM COWPER. Edited, with Biographical Introduction and Notes, by W. Benham.
“Mr. Benham’s edition of Cowper is one of permanent value. The biographical introduction is excellent, full of information, singularly neat and readable, and modest—too modest, indeed—in its comments. The notes seem concise and accurate, and the editor has been able to discover and introduce some hitherto unprinted matter.”—Saturday Review.
Virgil.—THE WORKS OF VIRGIL RENDERED INTO ENGLISH PROSE, with Introductions, Running Analysis, and an Index, by James Lonsdale, M.A., and Samuel Lee, M.A. Globe 8vo.
