study can give us, we will attempt to introduce into the halls of our country a train of brotherly and distinguished guests.
It will be less our object to criticise the productions of the North than to point out these great sources of romantic poetry, in whose various currents so many of our illustrious bards have found inspiration.

But as far as our notes and illustrations can assist the right understanding of the original, they will be introduced.
Subscribers names will be received by Robert Heward, 113, Strand.
