Présentation de l'éditeur
Poems of the Fletcheks very early in my Fuller Worthies Library; and within a few months of their private issue, the entire impressions were distributed among ray fellow-students and lovers of our elder poetic literature. The number of copies (io6 8vo, and 156 i2rao)was so limited that I have had since to disappoint many applicants from far and near. It gives me accordingly no little pleasure to respond to the wish of the Publishers that I should furnish certain of the Fuller Worthies Library to the general public, Giles will pave the way for Phineas Fletcher; and the Fletchers, with Sir John Davies and Sir Philip Sydney, which are to be almost contemporaneously published, afford access to a wider circle to some of those literary treasures thator the first time it has been my privilege to collect and edit critically and worthily. Throughout I have re-collated every line and word with the Author sown texts not without advantage in various ways, in that ray earlier Worthies were printed at a provincial press, and with un-instructed and merely mechanical workmen, so much so that even a second and third revise-proof failed to secure attention to my corrections.
