OF ESSAYS ON PERIODICAL LITERATURE, OF SHAKSPEARE AND HIS TIMES, OF WINTER NIGHTS, AND

EVENINGS IN AUTUMN.

Come, sweetest SUMMER!

And o'er old AVON's magic edge,
Whence SHAKSPEARE I'd the spiky sedge,
All playful yet, in years unripe,
To frame a shrill and simple pipe,
O Goddess, guide my pilgrim feet!

IN TWO VOLUMES.

VOL. I.
