The following Works are already published, each Author sold separately.

HE DRAMATIC AND POETICAL
WORKS OF JOHN MARSTON. Now
first collected, and edited by J. O. HALLI-
WELL. 3 vols.

15s.

"The edition deserves well of the public; it is carefully printed, and the annotations, although neither numerous nor extensive, supply ample explanations upon a variety of interesting points. If Mr. Halliwell had done no more than collect these plays, he would have conferred a boon upon all lovers of our old dramatic poetry."-Literary Gazette.

THE VISION AND CREED OF PIERS PLOUGHMAN. Edited by THOMAS WRIGHT; a new edition, revised, with additions to the Notes and Glossary. 2 vols.

10s.

"The Vision of 'Piers Ploughman' is one of the most precious and interesting monuments of the English Language and Literature, and also of the social and political condition of the country during the fourteenth century. . . . . Its author is not certainly known, but its time of composition can, by internal evidence, be fixed at about the year 1362. On this and on all matters bearing upon the origin and object of the Poem, Mr. Wright's historical introduction gives ample information. In the thirteen

years that have passed since the first edition of the present text was published by the late Mr. Pickering, our old literature and history have been more studied, and we trust that a large circle of readers will be prepared to welcome this cheaper and carefully revised reprint."-Literary Gazette.

INCREASE MATHER'S REMARKABLE PROVIDENCES OF THE EARLIER DAYS OF AMERICAN COLONIZATION. With introductory Preface by GEORGE OFFOB. Portrait.

58.

A very singular collection of remarkable sea deliverances, accidents, remarkable phenomena, witchcraft, apparitions, &c. &c., connected with Inhabitants of New England, &c. &c. A very amusing volume, conveying a faithful portrait of the state of society, when the doctrine of a peculiar providence and personal intercourse between this world and that which is unseen was fully believed.

JOHN SELDEN'S TABLE TALK. A new and improved Edition, by S. W. SINGER.

Portrait.

5s.

"There are few volumes of its size so pregnant with sense, combined with the most profound learning; it is impossible to open it without finding some important fact of discussion, something practically useful and applicable to the business of life. Coleridge says: There is more weighty bullion sense in this book than I ever found in the same number of pages in any uninspired writer.'. ... Its merits had not escaped the notice of Dr. Johnson, though in politics opposed to much it inculcates, for in reply to an observation of Boswell in praise of the French Ana, he said, 'A few of them are good, but we have one book of that kind better than any of them-Selden's Table Talk.'"-Mr. Singer's Preface.

THE POETICAL WORKS OF WILLIAM DRUMMOND OF HAWTHORNDEN. Edited by W. B. TURNBULL. Portrait.

"The Sonnets of Drummond," says Mr. Hallam," are polished and elegant, free from conceit and bad taste, and in pure unblemished English."

FRANCIS QUARLES' ENCHIRIDION. Containing Institutions Divine, Contemplative, Practical, Moral, Ethical, Economical, and Political. Portrait. 3s.

"Had this little book been written at Athens or Rome, its author would have been classed with the wise men of his country." -Headley.

THE MISCELLANEOUS WORKS IN PROSE AND VERSE OF SIR THOMAS OVERBURY. Now first collected. Edited, with Life and Notes, by E. F. RIMBAULT. Portrait after Pass.

58.

GEORGE WITHER'S HYMNS AND SONGS OF THE CHURCH. Edited, with Introduction, by EDWARD FARR. Also the Musical Notes, composed by ORLANDO GIBBONS. With Portrait after Hole.

GEORGE WITHER'S HALLELUJAH; OR, BRITAIN'S SECOND REMEMBRANCER, in Praiseful and Penitential Hymns, Spiritual Songs, and Moral Odes, with Introduction by EDWARD FARR. Portrait. 6s.

Hitherto this interesting volume has only been known to the public by extracts in various publications. So few copies of the original are known to exist, that the copy from which this reprint has been taken cost twenty-one guineas.

THE POETICAL WORKS OF THE REV. ROBERT SOUTHWELL. Now first completely edited by W. B. TURNBULL.

4s.

"In sweetness, in classical purity of language, in melodious rhythm, these poems will not suffer by comparison with the contemporaneous works even of Edmund Spenser or Sir Philip Sidney."-Northern Times.

THE MISCELLANIES of JOHN AUBREY, F.R.S. (on Omens, Dreams, Day Fatality, Apparitions, Portents, Knockings, &c. &c.) The fourth Edition, with some Additions, and an Index, Portrait, and Cuts. 4s. THE ILIADS OF HOMER, Prince of Poets, never before in any Language truly translated, with a Comment on some of his chief Places. Done according to the Greek by GEORGE CHAPMAN, with Introduction and Notes by the Rev. RICHARD HOOPER. 2 vols. with Portrait of Chapman, and Frontispiece.

12s.

THE ODYSSEYS OF HOMER, truly translated by GEORGE CHAPMAN. With Introduction and Notes by the Rev. RICHARD HOOPER. 2 vols. with Frontispiece. 12s. "The translation of Homer, published by George Chapman, is one of the greatest treasures the English language can boast.'

-Godwin.

"With Chapman, Pope had frequent consultations, and perhaps never translated any passage till he read his version." Dr. Johnson.

"He covers his defects with a daring, fiery spirit that animates his translation; which is something like what one might imagine Homer himself to have writ before he arrived at years of discretion."-Pope.
