Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of English Poetry, Vol. 1 of 4: From the Twelfth to the Close of the Sixteenth Century Of the celebrated work, of which a new and improved edition is now submitted to the public, there have been three former impressions. The first appeared in three volumes quarto, between the years 1774 and 1781. In 1790 the author died, leaving behind him eleven sheets, or 88 pages, of a fourth volume, for which it was reported incorrectly at the time, that the complete materials existed, and would be edited by his brother. Dr. Joseph Warton, however, did not add a single line to the work, or in any way assist in the accomplishment of what was felt then to be a desirable object, the fulfilment of the original plan by bringing down the narrative to the commencement of the last century. It does not follow, certainly, that Dr. Warton would have executed the task in a manner worthy of his brother´s reputation; but at any rate, as the historian left it, so it has remained.
