" The kindred warmth with which the biographer enters into
all the feelings of his author; the animation of his style, kindling
not unfrequently into poetical krrour, and the good sense and
acuteness that characterise his observations, cannot fail to render
his narrative highly acceptable to the admirers of this amiable
and eminent Poet. Thg, events of the Poet's life, his present
Editor relates as he found them; but kis reflections on those
events, and his manner of narrating them, are els own, and
evince no common share of talent and observation. The nar-
rative, which is spirited and well written throughout, concludes
with .s sketch of the Poet's character, very faithfully and ably de-
lineated. But it is in his critical remarks, that the abilities and
taste of the Editor are chieili sli,played. On this part of his task
ht• enters with all the ardour of a kindred spirit ; aid while he
estimates the cisaract,risic qualities of Cowper's various works,
with great acuteness and accuracy of discrimination, he appre-
ciates the effuts, the feelings, the inspirations of the Poet, with
a truth and fulness of sympathy which a poet only could feel.
'f Ice whole of his remarks on the Task well deserve the perusal of
every I..ver of poetry, and particularly of every young candidate
fs.r poetic fame. These remarks are not merely critical. The
annotator often catches. as he proceeds, a portion of his author's
iiir.pirr.t:on, and
.IrAirs with equal ardour of benevolence, or ex-
patals into equal amplitude of thought."—Edinburgh Magazine

The long experience and justly-merited celebrity o: the Editor,
as an acute philologist, a profound classical scholar, and a pro-
ftsuar—succe.,sful, for upwards of forty years, to a degree almost
unprecedented in this country, enable the Publishers to recom-
mend these Works with the utmost confidence.

Ci the first edition of Dr. llunter's Virgi!, the Edirburgh
Res i,se speaks in these terms :
" The Preface, which tray be considered as a specimen of
Dr. Hunter's talents for annotation, contains a c‘nsideraial4
number of interesting discussions. The punctuation of this
edition appears to be ptculiariy judicious. We r..ay safely Le-
commend this u ear of the most correct editions of Virgil that
has pet ',ten cffered to the public. We do rot know, indeed,
that it contains a single typographical error ; in the reading
and pur.ct!:ation of the text, it a sugicimt to say, that Professor
ll:yue has pahliely declared it to be superior to any that he had
preyilut•iy
_ _ _

Of the other Class ;s, it is only necessary to say, that they are
edited with equal skili and ca.---the Notts on Horace are ye,
caliarly valuable. The Rudiments and Grammar are freed
from the Vitiation of uns%ilful Editors, and may be considered
as the most pure and valuable editions of these long-established
and highly pf:pular Worki ; and the Appendix to the former is
a specimen of the Philoeuphy of Language; equally us4ll,
.ginal, and profound.
