The POEMS of Mr. GRAY.

With Notes by Gilbert Wakefield, B. A. late Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge.

Ingenium cui fit, cui mens divinior, atque os Magna sonaturum, des nominis hujus honorem.

HORAT.

Creative Genius; and the glow divine, That warms and melts the enthusiastic soul; A pomp and prodigality of phrase: These form the poet, and these shine in thee!

The POETICAL WORKS of DAVID GARRICK, Esq.;

Now first collected with Explanatory Notes,

With a complete List of his Works, and the different Characters he performed, arranged in Chronological Order; also a short Account of his Life, and the Monody on his Death, written by Mr. Sheridan, and spoken by Mrs. Yates, of Drury Lane Theatre.

KEARSLEY’s Arms of the Peers and Peeresses of England, Scotland, and Ireland, neatly Engraved, with an English Translation of the Mottos.

They may likewise be had bound with the annual Court Calendar.

A new Edition, including the BENCH of BISHOPS, (Which was originally intended for a separate Work)

The HERALDRY of NATURE; or TEMPORARY ARMS.

Adapted to the present House of Peers, and emblematical of each of the Lord’s present hobby horses, either in the fashionable and dissipated pursuits of pleasure, or the more confined Walks of business; including their domestic amusements and connections, with upwards of Eighty Examples, neatly Etched, by an eminent Engraver.

“This is a new and excellent method of delineating Characters, and saying more in the compass of a Shilling, than can generally be conveyed by mere words in a whole Sheet! How the present House of Peers will approve of these new Armorial Bearings, which are drawn in the true HOGARTHIAN Stile, with great Humour, and no small degree of Satire, is not for us to determine; we must however acknowledge, in Justice to the Author, the Examination of these whimsical Arms has afforded us great Entertainment.”

Vide Review for November.

A cheap and correct Edition of the Works of GEORGE ALEXANDER STEVENS,

Containing a complete Collection of his SONGS, Printed verbatim from his last Corrections; also his celebrated Lecture upon Heads, as delivered originally by himself, with Additions, as spoken by Mr. Lee Lewes, at the Theatre Royal, in Covent-Garden, and the Royalty-Theatre. To which is added, an Essay on Satire, by Mr. Pilon.

There are spurious and incorrect Editions of Stevens’s Works in Circulation, against which it is necessary to Caution the Public. The Songs may be had separate, Price One Shilling and Sixpence, and the Lecture on Heads, price One Shilling, or bound together, Three Shillings.

ELEGANT ORATIONS, Ancient and Modern, for the Use of Schools, originally compiled for his own Pupils;
