FIRST EDITION, with good impression of the portrait of the Author by WILLIAM FAITHORNE, 8m. 4to, fine sound copy, in old calf, £5 58 243 Another copy, stained calf extra, gilt edges, by RIVIERE, £3 15s It may, we think, safely be affirmed that nine-tenths of those who are accustomed to pronounce the name of Milton with emotions of admiration and respect, are for the most part no farther acquainted with his immortal works than by occasionally looking over the first three books of "Paradise Lost," and a few scattered passages of the remainder. The above, though so accessible a work, seems to be read by very few, and has, perhaps, for the greater part, no great attractions for the general reader; there are, nevertheless, many passages of story and sentiment, which are calculated to be universally interesting. The versions of the stories of Brutus the Trojan-The Fables of the Original Colonization of Britain-The STORY OF KING LEAR, must, we are sure, be important as related by Milton. 244 MONTAGU (Basil, Editor of Bacon's Works) ESSAYS AND SELECTIONS.
