AN ESSAY ON THE GENIUS AND POETRY OF COWPER,

BY THE REV. J. W. CUNNINGHAM.

Vicar of Harrow.

"The works of Cowper need no recommendation; they are incorporated into our living literature, and will be read as long as men shall read for amusement, or to gather wisdom, of which no poet is a greater teacher. The peculiar merit of the present edition is, that it is the only one which can contain the whole of Cowper's Private Correspondence. It being copyright and exclusively appropriated to this edition."—Courier.
"The handsomest specimen of modern standard works that we have yet seen."—Monthly Review.
"Of the manner in which this edition has been produced, we can hardly speak too highly. The type, the embellishments, and the whole getting up, are excellent. The peculiar facility with which the Editor has made the poet tell his own story, has stamped upon this edition an intrinsic value which nothing can surpass."—Metropolitan.

SPLENDIDLY EMBELLISHED.

THE BOOK OF GEMS.

(The Poets and Artists of Great Britain.)

WITH UPWARDS OF

FIFTY BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVINGS

FROM

ORIGINAL PICTURES,

BY FIFTY LIVING PAINTERS.

This beautiful Work, which is a perfect novelty among the embellished publications of the day, presents the combined attractions of Poetry, Painting, and Engraving. It is splendidly illustrated with upwards of Fifty exquisitely finished Engravings from Original Pictures by the most distinguished living Painters, and altogether forms one of the most beautiful library, drawing-room, and present books which the advanced state of the Arts has hitherto produced.
Critical Notices.
"The Book of Gems seems too fair to be looked upon, combining all those external decorations which made the Annuals so attractive with something far better than the vapid prose and milk-and-water poetry of which their staple generally consisted. It is a book more lovely to the sense than the most gorgeous of the tribe of Souvenirs and Forget-me-nots; and unlike them, it will be as valuable twenty years hence as it is now. The very conception of such a book deserves no little praise, and its execution the very highest. For its combined attractions to the man of taste and the lover of art, this work has no rivals in the annals of book making."—American Monthly Mag.
"This is, in all respects, so beautiful a book, that it would be scarcely possible to suggest an improvement. Its contents are not for a year, nor for an age, but for all time."—Examiner.
"The plan of this beautiful and splendid work is as admirable as it is novel."—Literary Gazette.
"This sumptuous book has not less than fifty-three illustrations."—AthenÆum.
"The Pleasure-book of the year—a treasury of sweets and beauties."—Atlas.
A few Proof Impressions of the Splendid Illustrations to the above work may still be had.
