"In this new edition of this work, a performance that has charmed, instructed, and ennobled the young hearts and minds of generation after generation for more than half a century, with a constantly increasing celebrity, all that has been attempted is to 'rub off a little of the rust of age,' or, in other words, to give the work a few such slight touches as Mr. Day might himself have been disposed to give it, had he lived at a period so justly fastidious as the present. The illustrations, too, will, it is presumed, be found more in accordance with existing taste than with that of the times which are past." Emerson's (R. W.) Poetical Works, With an illustration.
