"To edit a complete collection of the Poets of Great Britain, was an important and useful undertaking; and it is from comprising the early writers that the present collection derives its great and distinguished value. The admirers of English literature are highly indebted to the publishers and the editor of these volumes."—Critical Review, Jan. 1799.
2. ANDERSON'S COLLECTION OF POETICAL TRANSLATIONS from the Greek and Latin Poets, (being the 12th and 13th Vols. of the above Work), containing those of Pope, West, Dryden, Pitt, Rowe, Hoole, Pye, Cooke, Fawkes, Creech, Grainger, &c. 2 vols. royal 8vo.—Price 1l. 10s. sewed.
3. THE PLEASURES OF HOPE, with other Poems, by Thomas Campbell, small 8vo.—Price 6s. boards.
"So uncommon a degree of merit appears in the first and principal of these poems, that we cannot let it pass without particular notice. The Pleasures of Hope are surely as good a subject for a rising poet as can well be chosen. It is the very essence of genius to form ideal scenes of future gratification. This subject is treated by Mr. Campbell with much genius, and in general with good judgment; certainly with a very singular splendour and felicity of versification."—British Critic, July 1799.
"The general inspiration of good sense and generous virtue, the correct chastening of true taste and sound discretion, are the most remarkable excellencies which distinguish the contents of this elegant volume. It has in all its parts a sufficient proportion of particular sentiments, and particular images, to deserve the character of true poetry."—New London Review, Sept. 1799.
4. PICTURES of POETRY, Historical, Biographical, and Critical, by Alexander Thomson, Esq. Author of Whist, and the Paradise of Taste, small 8vo.—Price 5s. boards.
