Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Poetry
I have confined the specimens more exclusively to English poetry, it being my intention, should this work meet with any degree of favour, shortly to follow it by another which, together' with select specimens of English poetry will comprehend choice examples of the most distinguished European poets. The style adopted in the body of the work is for the purpose of making it more suitable for the advanced classes in English academies, and to serve as a text-book for those lectures on English literature which are now given in so many institutions for young and work ing men. From its pages an accurate teacher may easily form a series of such lectures, little else being necessary than to add to the examples.
