Excerpt from Inklings of Adventure, Vol. 1 of 2 A delightful work. The Letters, now for the first time incorporated, are even better than those which have so long secured the public favor.

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.
