Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Select Poems of Thomas Gray

Even its blunders in the indenting Of the lines in the corresponding stanzas Of the two Pindaric odes, which any careful proof-reader ought to have corrected, have been copied again and again - as in the Boston (1853) reprint Of Pickering, the pretty little edition of Bickers Son (london, n. The fac-simile of the latter printed at our University Press, Cambridge etc.
