THIS Collection, of which one hundred and twenty-eight
volumes are already issued, is intended to embrace the
works of the most distinguished authors, from Chaucer to
Wordsworth, with selections from the minor poets; accom-
panied with biographical, historical, and critical notices

and portraits, the whole forming a far more complete, elegant, and cheap edition of the British Poets than has ever appeared before.

The numerous testimonials to the excellence of this series, which the publishers have received, both from the press and the public, in all parts of the country, would seem to indicate that a popular want has been met by this edition, which is universally acknowledged to be the best ever issued, both in point of editorship and mechanical execution.
