ADVERTISEMENT. THE FIRST SERIES of my 'Biographical and Critical Essays' has been long out of print, and the expediency of reprinting the whole (First, Second, and Third Series, in five volumes) in a more accessible form has been frequently suggested. Considering this a somewhat hazardous experiment, I have adopted the intermediate course of publishing a selection carefully revised. 8 ST. JAMES STREET: October 27, 1878. |
