his age of cheap
literature, and will go far to supply what has been long needed,--an
accurate, elegant, and cheap edition of our Poets. Such a guinea's worth
was never issued before, and we are much mistaken if the series does not
obtain a large circulation. The volumes are issued in handsome style, and
every care will be taken to secure the accuracy of the editions. Mr
Gilfillan's temperament involves some of the choicest elements of poetic
impressions, while his critical canons are for the most part sound and
trustworthy.

Perthshire Courier.

It is almost unnecessary for us to say more than what is now universally
admitted, that this is the best and cheapest edition of the British Poets
ever offered to the public. Setting aside their acknowledged and standard
elegance, they are the cheapest books we have ever seen, and their being
indispensable to the literary man, as well as the educated gentleman or
well-read artisan, makes them doubly so.

Tait's Magazine.

These volumes form part of a new series of the "British Poets," published
by Mr Nichol, in the form of substantial and elegant library volumes, at
a price less than one third of that which the public have been accustomed
to pay for tomes of such goodly parts and quality. Paper, print, and
binding, are all excellent, the type large and clear.... The above
extracts, more than anything we could say, will commend these volumes,
and the series of which they form a part, to the good opinion of the
reader. As a cheap and excellent library edition of the "British Poets,"
they will prove acceptable to a very numerous class; and under the
management of their present able editor, we cannot harbour a doubt of
their success with the public.

The Monitor.

When it was proposed that, at so low a price as a subscription of a
guinea in the year, six volumes, in a superior style of execution, would
be issued, we could not but admire the enterprise of the publisher, and
heartily wish all success to the undertaking.

These volumes, the first in the series, fully justified our fondest
anticipations, and give large promise that this admirable publication
will secure, as it certainly deserves, extensive patronage. They are
issued in a very attractive style--in a large bold type, paper of the
best quality, and in neat and substantial binding. The editorial part of
the undertaking is carefully
