Excerpt from The Select Poetical Works of James Montgomery Some four years since, the publishers of this volume commenced the issue of a cheap edition, in uniform style, of the standard English Poets, publishing, at irregular intervals, a volume at a time, until the number has now reached twenty-two. Some of these contain the authors complete; while others, from the necessity of limit, contain selections only, in which case great care has been taken to present the authors different peculiarities, whether of humor, pathos or sentiment. The volume now at hand is of the latter class, as its title-page will indicate; yet the reader will find, on comparing it with his complete works, that but few pieces are omitted in this edition. The great patronage which has followed the publication of the previous volumes of the series has induced the issue of this, and will encourage the publishers to make such arrangements as will bring out a complete uniform edition of all the standard poets.
