Poetical Works of Thomas Gray: With Illustrations (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Poetical Works of Thomas Gray: With Illustrations

A new arrangement of the poems is made. In this particular, no edition has the poet's own authority, not only, because a good many of the poems are posthumous, but because some which appeared in his lifetime were not introduced into his own collections. In this edition, the poems are divided into those which were published during' Gray's life, and the Posthumous pieces, - with subdivisions of each of these two classes into the original poems, Eng lish and Latin, and the Translations. In each subdivision, the poems are arranged according to the dates of composi tion, as far as they could be determined.
