THE POETICAL WORKS

OF ROBERT HERRICK;

CONTAINING HIS "HESPERIDES" & "NOBLE NUMBERS," With a Biographical Memoir, by E. WALFORD, Esq., Scholar of Baliol College, Oxford.

"Robert Herrick can only be appreciated by a classical scholar, he is probably exceeded by no English poet, with the exception of Milton."-TIMES. "The most joyous and gladsome of the bards."-CRITIC.

"The general character of the pieces included in the 'Hesperides' is amorcus, and the style often assumes an anacreontic colouring."-LEADER.

"His productions are quaint, ingenious, characteristic of the age."-NEW QUARTERLY.

"A perfect and handsome edition of our sweetest lyric poets was much wanted, and here we have it."-ADVERTISER.

LONDON: REEVES AND TURNER, TEMPLE BAR.
