"Dryden's poem is placed first in this volume because it is with the poem that the student is first and chiefly concerned. The notes following are intended to be explanatory and suggestive, to aid the student in the understanding and appreciation of the poem. While the editor has endeavored to avoid too great fulness of annotation, he has also sought to avoid the opposite extreme of leaving the student to seek in vain for the meaning of an obscure passage. Time saved in understanding the language and allusions of the poem may be more profitably spent in seeking to appreciate its literary qualities. Toward this end it is hoped that the suggestions for the study of the poem will serve as a welcome guide."

Published 1907 by D.C. Heath & Co.
