THE END.

BALLANTYNE, PRINTER, EDINBURGH.

LIBRARY EDITION OF THE BRITISH POETS.

ISSUE FOR THE SECOND YEAR.

The Publisher begs to announce that the Issue for the Second Year
will consist of the Poetical Works of

BUTLER, 2 vols.; COWPER, 3 vols.; BLAIR, BRUCE, LOGAN,
BEATTIE, and FALCONER, 1 vol.

These will immediately be followed by the publication of the
Poetical Works of

DRYDEN, POPE, BURNS, &c. &c.

The Publisher has much gratification in referring to the reception which
this Series of the British Poets has met with, and he begs to assure the
Subscribers that every exertion will be made to insure this Edition being
distinguished by the specific features proposed, namely, "accuracy in the
text, elegance of appearance, and extreme cheapness." The arrangements
which now exist for collating the text, and securing accuracy in this
important feature, are such as warrant the assertion that this Edition
will be found to stand a favourable comparison with any hitherto
published, or any that may hereafter be issued.

The Publisher and Editor have peculiar pleasure in acknowledging the
ready and hearty approval of their efforts by the press. It is seldom
that any undertaking has been so warmly received, or the manner in which
it has been executed so generally approved. This appreciation of their
purpose will stimulate them to still greater exertions in the prosecution
of their design--to produce this portion of the standard literature of
our country in a style more befitting the merits of the authors than any
hitherto attempted, and to secure for this series that it shall be worthy
of recognition as
