Cowley, Abraham. Essays, plays and sundry verses, v. 2. *$1.50. Putnam.
7–23868.
“The first volume of Cowley’s Works in the Cambridge English classics contained all the poems published in the folio which appeared the year after his death. The second volume, now issued, contains the earlier writings from the edition of 1637, together with the plays and essays. The editor, A. R. Waller, is preparing a Supplement of notes, biographical, bibliographical, and critical.”—Nation.
“A very workmanlike edition.”

“It cannot be said that this edition, with its reproduction of the old spelling and its inclusion of so much that is dull, is the best for the reader who merely desires his comfort, but for the scholar it is altogether admirable.”
