poems is, perhaps, too much to expect; but it is believed that of those ou which the unanimous verdict of the intelligent has set the seal of indis putable greatness, none, whether of English, Scotch, Irish, or American origin, will be found wanting. At the same time, careful and prolonged research, especially among the writers of the seventeenth century, and in the current receptacles of fugitive poetry, has developed a considerable store of treasures hitherto less known to the general public than to scholar: and to limited circles. Of these a due use has been made, in the confiden belief that they will not be deemed unworthy of a place with their mord illustrious companions, in a book which aspires to become the familiar friend and companion of every household.
