    ADVERTISEMENT. HE present edition of Akenside’s Poetical Works is substantially that prepared in 1834, by the Rev. Alexander Dyce, for Pickering’s “ Aldine Edition of the British Poets.” The elegant Memoir which he prefixed is given entire, and the few additions which seemed neces- sary, have be^n appended as notes. Every poem which could be traced to the author’s pen has been inserted; each, except The Pleasures of Imagination, has been printed from the edition which received the last re- vision of the author; and by strictly ad- hering to it the greatest accuracy has been secured. “ The Pleasures of Imagination is here printed as first issued in 1744, and also as enlarged and published by Mr. Dyson, in 1772.
