This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain.

THE WORLD'S WINTER. SAIDST thou, The night is ending, day is near? Nay now, my soul, not so; We are sunk back into the darkness drear, And scarcely soon shall know Even remembrance of the sweet dead day; Ay, and shall lose full soon The memory of the moon, The moon of early night, that cheered our sunless way.
