PREFACE.

THE chapters in this volume are to some extent reprints; but several of them are considerably enlarged, and some are so changed in substance and form as to present an original aspect. The groundwork of the essay on Pope, republished by the courtesy of Messrs. Longmans, is to be found in Fraser's Magazine; but the author has also made use, with the permission of the proprietors, of several papers on the same subject printed in the Pall Mall d Gazette and in the Athenæum. Thanks are due to the editors of the Spectator, for authority to insert the Wesley article; and to Messrs. Smith, Elder, and Co., for the use of the remaining essays. The transformation of some of these essays, and especially of the three papers on English poetry, is, however, so great that the author feels some diffidence in presenting them as reprints from the Cornhill.
