The Poetical Works of Thomas Gray, Thomas Parnell, William Collins, Matthew Green, and Thomas Warton (Classic Reprint)FB&C Limited, 09/07/2015 - 590 من الصفحات Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Thomas Gray, Thomas Parnell, William Collins, Matthew Green, and Thomas Warton The Poets, Whose verses are included in this volume, bear a kind of relationship to each other, and seem to gain a grace and a charm from the bond of fellowship that unites them. Four of the number were contem poraries; two were friends; Parnell may be called an elder brother, for the expression of his fancy and the sweetness of his accent belong to the same family of Taste. What learned hands have already adorned the story of their life and their genius, the Editor need not mention; but he is bound with gratefulness to record his own obligations to the elegant researches of Mr. Mitford; to a pleasing edition of Collins, by Mr. Dyce and to the affectionate gathering and annotation of Warton's poetry, by the late Bishop Mant.
