Excerpt from Byron's Prisoner of Chillon, and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage: II. 73 to III. 51, And Twenty of Addison's Essays, (Selected From the Spectator, "), With Biographical and Critical Notices of the Writers, Notes, &C, As this is the third time that the editors have undertaken to provide a school edition of the English Literature for University and Departmental examinations, it is hardly necessary to do more than to say that this edition has been prepared on the same plan and the work divided between the editors in the same way as in the two previous ones. The object of the introduction in each case is to enable students to understand clearly what manner of man the writer was, under what circumstances he wrote the work to be studied, and by what influences he was likely to be affected, and also to call attention to some of the leading characteristics of his style: that of the notes to lighten the labor of both teachers and students, and to lead the latter to observe and to judge for themselves. If the notes err on the side of fulness it is because the editors have kept in mind the case of candidates studying by themselves and of others who may not have ready access to good works of reference. The text of the poetry has been, with, perhaps, two or three variations, made to conform to that of Murray's edition of Byron's Poetical Works. In the case of the prose the text followed was that of Morley's edition of The Spectator. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
