    THE ALDINE EDITION OF THE BRITISH POETS. i. SUPPLEMENTARY SERIES. The fifty-two volumes which have hitherto formed the well-known Aldine Series, embody the works of nearly all the more popular English poetical writers, whether lyric, epic, or satiric, up to tk9 end of the eighteenth century. But since that time the wonderful fertility of English literature has produced many writers equal, and in some cases far superior, to tho majority of their predecessors; and the widely augmented roll of acknowledged English poets now contains many names not represented 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 tho 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 style with the last fine-paper edition of the Aldine Poets, in fcap. 8vo. size, printed at tho Chiswick Press. Price 5s. per volume. Each volume will be edited with notes where necessary for elucidation of the text; a memoir will be prefixed and a portrait, where an authentic one is accessible. The following are already published:— The Poems op William Blake. With Memoir by W. M. Rossetti, and portrait by Jeens. The Poems of Samuel Rogees. With Memoir by Edward Bell, and portrait by Jeens. The Poems of Thomas Chattebton. 2 vols. Edited by the Bov. W. Skeat, with Memoir by Edward Bell. The Poems of Sib Walteb Raleigh, Sir Henry Wotton, and Selec- tions from other Courtly Poets.
