'The Poems of King James VI. of which the present Volume contains the First Essays, though in point of merit they do not rank very high, will always be considered curious and interesting, not only on account of the high rank of the author, but as exhibiting a specimen of what he regarded the essence of poetry and criticism. A Memoir, containing Strictures and Observations on the Work, and Remarks explanatory of the "Revlis and Cautelis to be obseruit and eschewit in Scottis Poesie," will be prefixed, and the Editor hopes to be enabled to illustrate the subject from some unpublished MSS.

This edition will contain a series of plates illus. trative of Mr. Howard's nomenclature of the clouds

[blocks in formation]

THE plan of this work is extended far beyond any productions of a similar nature (if mere selections from a few authors without arrangement can be so termed) that have beeu yet attempted. The execution of it has been attended with infinite pains, as the works of the English Poets, including their translations from ancient and modern authors, have been studiously examined; and every passage deserving of attention, and which came within the plan of this publication, has been carefully selected.

Hence this work, which forms an Index to the British Poets and Poetical Translators, containing their most sublime and happiest expressions, thoughts, allusions, and similies, will not only enrich the mind of the mere reader, but also enable the author to collect the ideas of every poet on any particular subject, prevent him from having any fears of plagiarism, and at the same time furnish his mind with such a fand of information, as cannot fail to produce the happiest effect in his compositions.

The labour attendant on such a compilation as this is humble: it is not indeed expected to produce a temporary applause; but as it contains the quintessence of those works, which will be admired as long as any taste for the sublime and beautiful exists in the hearts of mankind, the Compiler hopes it will meet with a permanent esteem.

Experience has proved, in the most convincing manner, the many advantages possessed by works which are alphabetically arranged. Influenced by this conviction the Compiler collected in that shape the contents of this volume, and if dictionaries of particular sciences have been favourably received, he trusts that this work will in some degree merit the patronage of the public, as it is adapted to adorn the mind with the most pleasing information, to render the reader familiar with the style and beauties of the English Poets in the easiest and most entertaining manner, and, if considered merely as a dictionary, will be found to afford the fullest meaning of the several words therein contained, and their different constructions and uses, illustrated by examples in a manner till now unattempted. The Compiler has endeavoured to introduce the various selections as much divested of superfluous matter as possible, without injuring their beauty and interest, though sometimes necessitated, for the sake of the connection of the sense, to insert them under heads to which every part or line of them may be thought not properly to belong.

In perusing this work, the reader will meet with those passages which delighted him in the innocent and happy hours of youth, when the mind, uncontaminated with the vices of the world, and ignorant of its cares, enjoys without alloy the felicity derived from literary pursuits. Those passages may have been long erased from his recollection in the hurry and bustle of life; but he will recognize them here with that pleasure with which we embrace an old friend; and his imagination recurring to those moments when they formed the chief delight of his hours, they will produce that pleasing sensation chastened with regret, which the remembrance of past happiness produces in the mind. Ah! how delightful will those recollections be! how will his bosom long to retain the sweet and tranquil ideas to which they will give birth!
