LITERATURE.

THE LIFE AND WORKS OF COWPER.
Vol. 111. London: Saunders and Otley.

Two well executed engravings by Finden, from
drawings by Harding, form the pictorial embellish-
ments of the third volume of the Rev. J. S. Grim-
shawe's correct and elegant edition of the Life and
Works of Cowper. The first presents a view of the
market-place of Huntingdon, with its rude tents, its
basket-wives, its heavy drays, its half Gothic church,
and an inn which Shakspeare might have regarded
as the domicile of ease and social comfort. The vig-
nette is equally striking. It represents the village
church and parsonage-house at Hertford, and the Old
Bell Inn, with a group of peasants, and a couple of
contented looking cows in the foreground. In this
volume the correspondence of the Poet is carried
down to 1788—many of the letters now appearing for
the first time.
