and ably executed. Indeed, we know no living
person who is better qualified to edit a uniform edition of the British
Poets than the Rev. George Gilfillan. We tender to both the publisher and
editor of this beautiful superior edition of the British Poets our
grateful acknowledgments for commencing so important and valuable an
undertaking.

Clydesdale Journal.

This series has now reached the fourth volume, and is fully sustaining
the very favourable opinion expressed by the press in all parts of the
country. Never was a work issued combining elegance and cheapness in so
remarkable a degree.

Bell's Weekly Messenger.

This volume is an additional proof of the excellency of the selection,
the ability of the gifted editor, and the elegance of the publication.

Cumberland Pacquet.

This is the fourth volume of the library edition of the British Poets,
projected by Mr Nichol, the enterprising Edinburgh publisher, one or two
of the former volumes of which we have already had the pleasure of
noticing. The design, and the style in which it was proposed to carry it
out, as indicated by the first volume of the series, elicited the
expression of our special admiration several months ago, and we have
pleasure in stating that the volume now before us is in every respect a
worthy successor to those which have preceded it. We may observe that the
critical dissertation prefixed, from the pen of Mr Gilfillan, is worth
the price of the entire volume.

Aberdeen Journal.

... A few words respecting the series of publications of which this
volume forms a part. They are issued, as our readers are aware, under the
very efficient superintendence of George Gilfillan; and we cannot speak
of them but in terms of the warmest approval; for, in point of form and
elegance, and correctness of typography, they are on a level with the
high-priced editions; and in point of price, they are on a level with the
most ordinary publications of popular works that have been got up for the
popular market. The enterprise is indeed a noble one, and we wish it all
manner of success.

Dumfriesshire and Galloway Herald.

This is the fourth volume of the new Edinburgh edition of the Poets--an
edition, we must say, alike honourable to the publisher and editor. Mr
Nichol's undertaking is a noble one. We wish him all success in it.
