At the close of the Fifth Year of the Publication of the Library Edition of the British Poets, when the Thirtieth Volume is in the hands of the Subscribers, it becomes once more the duty of the Publisher to tender his hearty thanks to the Public and to the Press for the support and encouragement which continue to be extended to his undertaking, and to announce the Works which he proposes to add to the Series during the ensuing year. The Works selected for Publication during the year 1858 are : — Dr PERCY'S Reliques of Ancient English Poetry, ... 3 Vols. PRIOR'S Poetical Works . 1 Vol. WYATT'S Poetical Works, 1 Vol. The Poetical Works of ARMSTRONG, DYER, and GREEN, . 1 Vol. The highly interesting work of Dr Pekcy has always been a decided favourite ; and its reproduction, in a handsome form, cannot fail to be wel come to every lover of our national Poetry.

As a whole, it is hoped that the issue proposed for 1858 will prove quite as acceptable to the Sub scribers, and the Public generally, as the publications of any former year. In making his appeal at this time for continued and more extended support, the Publisher feels himself entitled to hold that the character of this Work, as the best and cheapest uniform Edition of the British Poets which has ever appeared, is now established. It was the aim both of the Editor and the Publisher, in commencing this undertaking, to produce a Work which should rank as a Standard, on account of its accuracy ; which should grace OPINIONS OF THE LIBRARY EDITION OF THE BRITISH POETS. the collections even of the opulent and of the learned, by reason of its large type, its elegant form, and its superior finish ; while it should be within the reach of all classes of readers, from the easy terms of pubbcation, and the extreme moderation of its price.
