oyal 24mo., cloth extra, gilt edges, 2s. "Her writings have endeared her name to the lovers of virtue and of song everywhere; as a writer of verse she has high moral aims, and though this circumstance, with ordinary talent, might entitle her to consideration, she can add the effectual claim of literary excellence. The poetry is characterized by ease, tenderness, a chastened fancy, and a delicate susceptibility of whatever is beautiful in nature or charming in truth."--_Chambers_. Shakspeare's Dramatic Works, From the Text of Johnson, Stevens, and Reed, with Glossarial Notes and Life, printed in a large type, complete in one volume 8vo., cloth, full gilt back and sides, 8s.
