SOUTHEY'S EDITIoN OF COWPER.
Just Published,

IN THE STYLE O.F BYRON, SCOTT, EDGEWORTH, &c.
Volume 1., price ss. in embossed cloth and lettered,
THE WORKS of WILLIAM COWPER,
comprising, his POEMS, CORRESPONDENCE, and
TRANSLATIONS.

Edited by ROBERT SOUTHEY, Esq., LL.D.
7*,.'" The present yo:ume contains a portion of the Life of
Cowper, by the Editor, with a fine Portrait of the Poet, an ex-
quisite Vignette by Goodall, and a richly. engraved Portrait of the
Poet's Mother by H. Robinson.
The following are extracts from a host of favourable notices of
this important publication.
The refined perceptions of a true critic, and the refined sym-
pathies of a true poet, are employed throughout; and the natural
style of Dr. Southey's narrative is altogether delightful. "
He brings many new and most valuable materials to his work, in
the share of original letters and anecdotes, which throw new light
on the subject he has chosen. He ha; had access to the very
valuable collections of Mr. Unwin and Lady Hesketh, hitherto
greatly mutilated, if not altogether unpublished; and the publishers
have placed at his disposal those early poems of Cowper which
were written for the cousin he loved, the circumstances connected
with the preservation of which arc so extremely touching--so
racteristic of the devotedness of Woman and of the beauty of a
love sustained through hopelessness. The illustrations arc the best
we have seen in works of this nature."—Mamincr, Nov. 15. -- -

" The praise which we have bestowed upon the embellishments
of this opening volume of the works of Cowper, scarcely comes up
to their merit, and most certainly no praise can overrate the high
character of this volume as a literary production. The edition
promises to be one of permanent and surpassing value."—Court
Journal, Oct. 31.
" The first volume of the Poet of Olney has appeared at last,
and it seems to be worth waling for. In. externals, it vies with the
most eleJant of those Which have preceded it ; as regards the Poe-
t:cal Works; it will present the most complete edition which has
yet appeared."—Speetator, Oct. 3i.
" There is no one among our living writers who unites research,
taste, and sincerity (the three great requisites of a biographer), so
delightfully as Dr. Southey ; and it is almost superfluous to say,
that his work is as readable tl:r its anecdotes and contemporary
sketches, as for its•clear, manly, and elegant style.—As regards ele-
gance of form, and beauty-of illustration, we can have no hesitation
in placing this Edition of Cowper's 'Works above any which have
hitherto appeared."—Athenaeum, Oct. 17, 1335.
" It exhibits that care and judgment in the collection and treat-
ment of the materials, that skill in interweaving them into a clear
and copious narrative, and those graces and attractions of style,
which were to be looked for from one who has already shown him-
self such a consummate biographer. It. has all the charm of a
b .autiful work of imagination, combined with the pleasure derived
iron the conviction of its truth. The volume is beautifully brought
out."—Morning Chronicle, Nov. 10.
It is eloquent without the slightest affectation of labour, warm
ith sympathy and love for the interesting man who is the subject
of it, full of striking anecdotes and fine discriminating sketches,
and stamped throughout with the evidence of a true poet's heart.
We are quite sure that there are some parts of Cowper's charac-
ter and of his mournful history, on which Mr. Southey's re-
searches will throw a new light. The Pictorial Illustrations are
excellent : we are particularly pleased with the prtrait of the
poet's mother—in every view this is not merely the best, but be-
yond all comparison the hest, the most faithful, and the most fasci-
nating, memoir of Cowper that has ever met the public eye."—
Carnarvon Herald, Nov, 7. •

" The work will become a standard classic : ifs style is pure,
sweet,•and continuous—its arrangeT.ent judicious, and, as far as it
has -gine, we think the execution fully adequate to our highest ex-
pectatinn, The Embellishments are in a style of high excellence.
The portrait of his trilither is ihtensely beautiful."—Glasgow Cou-
rier, Nov. 12,
