Select Works of the British Poets: With Biographical and Critical PrefacesJohn Aikin Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme & Brown, Paternoster Row, 1820 - 807 páginas "The object of this work, which is entirely new, is to comprise, within a single volume, a chronological series of our classical poets, from Ben Johnson to Beattie, without mutilation or abridgment, with biographical and critical notices of their authors.
