    THE ALDINE EDITION OF THE BRITISH POETS. SUPPLEMENTARY SERIES. Tub fifty-two volumea which have hitherto formed the well-known Aldine Boriea, embody the works of nearly all the more popular English poetical writers, whether lyric, epic, or satiric, up to the end of the eighteenth century. But since that time the wonderful fertility of English literature has produced many writers equal, and in some oases far superior, to the majority of their predecessors; and the widely augmented roll of acknowledged English poets now contains many names not ropresented in the series of “ Aldine Poets.” With a view of providing for this want, and of making a series which has long held a high place in public estimation a more adequate represen- tation of the whole body of English poetry, the Publishers have deter- mined to issue a second series, which will contain some of the older poets, and the works of recent writers, so far as may be practicable by arrange- ment with the representatives of the poets whose works are still copyright. One volume, or more, at a time will be issued at short intervals; they will be uniform in binding and stylo with the last fine-paper edition of the Aldine Poets, in fcap. 8vo. size, printed at the Chiswick Press. Pri<je 5s. per volume. Each volume will be e<lited with notes where necessary for elucidation of the text; a memoir will be prefixed, and a portrait, where an anthentio one is accessible. The following are already pnbliahed:— Thk Poems of William Blakk. With Memoir by W. M. Rossetti, and portrait by Jeens. The Poems of Samuel Rogers. With Memoir by Edward Bell, and portrait by Jeens.
