Hardcover (Forgotten Books Feb. 1, 2019)
Excerpt from Inklings of Adventure, Vol. 1 of 2A delightful work. The Letters, now for the first time incorporated, are even better than those which have so long secured the public favor. Their unaffected pleasantry, abundant variety, and unstudied eloquence remind us of the best efforts of Addison and Steele, over which authors, Cowper had the advantage in a more generally informed understand ing Times.The works of Cowper need no recommendation they are incorpo rated into our living literature, and will be read as long as men shall read for amusement, or to gather wisdom, of which no poet is a greater teacher. The peculiar merit of the present edition is, that it is the only one which can contain the whole of Cowper's Private Correspondence. It being copyright, and exclusively appropriated to this edition.
