CYCLOPEDIA OF ENGLISH LITERATURE.

A SELECTION OF THE CHOICEST PRODUCTIONS OF ENGLISH AUTHORS, FROM

THE EARLIEST TO THE PRESENT TIME; CONNECTED BY A CRITICAL

AND BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY.

EDITED BY ROBERT CHAMBERS,

ASSISTED BY ROBERT CARRUTHERS AND OTHER EMINENT GENTLEMEN

Complete in two imperial octavo volumes, of more than fourteen hundred pages of double column letter-press, and upwards of three hundred elegant illustrations. Price, cloth, $5,00.

THE work embraces about one thousand authors, chronologically arranged and classed as Poets, Historians, Dramtists, Philosophers, Metaphysicians, Divines, etc., with choice selections from their writings, connected by a Biographical, Historical, and Critical Narrative; thus presenting a complete view of English Literature, from the earliest to the present time. Let the reader open where he will, he cannot fail to find matter for profit and delight. The selections are gems-infinite riches in a little room; in the language of another, "A WHOLE ENGLISH LIBRARY FUSED DOWN INTO ONE CHEAP BOOK!"

The AMERICAN edition of this valuable work is enriched by the addition of fine steel and mezzotint Engravngs of the heads of SHAKSPEARE, ADDISON, BYRON; a full-length portrait of DR. JOHNSON, and a beautiful scenic representation of OLIVER GOLDSMITH and DR. JOHNSON. These important and elegant additions, together with su perior paper and binding, render the AMERICAN superior to all other editions.

EXTRACTS FROM COMMENDATORY NOTICES.

From W. H. Prescott, Author of "Ferdinand and Isabella." "The plan of the work is very judicious.... It will put the reader in the proper point of view for surveying the whole ground over which he is travelling... . Such readers cannot fail to profit largely by the labors of the critic who has the talent and taste to separate what is really beautiful and worthy of their study from what is superfluous."

"I concur in the foregoing opinion of Mr. Prescott.”— Edward Everett.

"It will be a useful and popular work, indispensable to the library of a student of English literature.” — Francis Wayland.

"We hail with peculiar pleasure the appearance of this work, and more especially its republication in this country at a price which places it within the reach of a great number of readers."— North American Review.

"This is the most valuable and magnificent contribution to a sound popular Interature that this century has brought forth. It fills a place which was before a blank. Without it, English literature, to almost all of our countrymen, educated or uneducated, is an imperfect, broken, disjointed mass. Every intelligent man, every inquiring mind, every scholar, felt that the foundation was missing. Chambers's Cyclopædia supplies this radical defect. It begins with the beginning; and, step by step, gives to every one, who has the intellect or taste to enjoy it, a view of English literature in all its complete, beautiful, and perfect proportions."— Onondaga Democrat, N. Y.

"We hope that teachers will avail themselves of an early opportunity to obtain a work so well calculated to impart useful knowledge, with the pleasures and ornaments of the English classics. The work will undoubtedly find a place in our district and other public libraries; yet it should be the 'vade mecum' of every scholar."-Teachers' Advocate, Syracuse, N. Y.

"The design has been well executed by the selection and concentration of some of the best productions of Engish intellect, from the earliest Anglo-Saxon writers down to those of the present day. No one can give a glance at the work without being struck with its beauty and cheapness."- Boston Courier.

"We should be glad if any thing we can say would favor this design. The elegance of the execution feasts the eye with beauty, and the whole is suited to refine and elevate the taste. And we might ask, Who can fail to ge back to its beginning, and trace his mother tongue from its rude infancy to its present maturity, elegance, and rich ness?"-Christian Mirror, Portland.

"This Cyclopædia is executed with great fidelity and tact. We know no work which we can recommend nore highly."-Neal's Saturday Gazette, Phila.

"It is a good selection from the most renowned English writers, and has been fitly described as "a whole Enguish 'ibrary fused down into one cheap book." The Boston edition combines neatness with cheapness, engraved portraits Jeing given, over and above the illustrations of the English copy."-N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.

"Welcome! more than welcome! It was our good fortune some months ago to obtain a glance at this work, and we have ever since looked with earnestness for its appearance in an American edition."— New York Recorder." "The industry, learning, and ability of Mr. Chambers are securities for the excellence of the work, and we com nend it to every man of taste and letters as worthy of his patronage."- New York Observer.

"This is an elegant reprint of the Edinburgh edition, and certainly presents a specimen of typography and en graving of which we may be proud."— Ladies' Repository, Boston.

"This publication winnows the grain from an interminable mass of literary chaff; and. in this regard, is mos welcome to such a labor-saving age as that in which we live. No man of taste should fail of possessing a work which is evidently a classic."- Morning Signal, Cincinnati.

"It embodies a large amount of historical and biographical facts, and illustrates more perfectly than any other single book. A work like this cannot fail to prove convenient and interesting to the man of letters; while, to the ordinary reader, it opens a store of information which he will not be likely to obtain from any other source. We hope it may be widely circulated in this country, and contribute something to the cultivation among our people of a taste for the literature of their mother tongue, and an acquaintance with the character of its best masters."

"Those who have been acquainted with the various works of this kind now in use well know that Cruden's Concordance far excels all others. Yet we have in this edition of Cruden the best made better. That is, the present is better adapted to the purposes of a Concordance, by the erasure of superfluous references, the omission of unnecessary explanations, and the contraction of quotations, &c. It is better as a manual, and is better adapted by its price to the means of many who need and ought to possess such a work, than the former larger and expensive edition."- Boston Recorder.

The present edition, in being relieved of some things which contributed to render all former ones unnecessarily umbrous, without adding to the substantial value of the work, becomes an exceedingly cheap book."—Albany Argus. KITTO'S POPULAR CYCLOPEDIA OF BIBLICAL LITERATURE.
