The following Editions of Standard British Poets are illustrated with
numerous Steel Engravings, and may be had in all varieties of binding.
BYRON'S WORKS.
COMPLETE IN ONE VOLUME, OCTAVO.
INCLUDING ALL HIS SUPPRESSED AND ATTRIBUTED POEMS; WITH SIX BEAUTIFUL
ENGRAVINGS.
This edition has been carefully compared with the recent London edition of
Mr. Murray, and made complete by the addition of more than fifty pages of
poems heretofore unpublished in England. Among these there are a number

edition of Lord Byron's Poetical Works_ ever published in the United
States.

which commend it, in an especial manner, to the discriminating reader. No
parent or guardian will be under the necessity of imposing restrictions
with regard to the free perusal of every production emanating from this
gifted woman. There breathes throughout the whole a most eminent exemption
from impropriety of thought or diction; and there is at times a pensiveness
of tone, a winning sadness in her more serious compositions, which tells of
a soul which has been lifted from the contemplation of terrestrial things,
