Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cotter's Saturday Night In once more sending forth to the world of happy homes, this noblest Poem of "the greatest Poet that ever sprang from the bosom of the people," the Publishers find their occasion and excuse - if such could be ever needed - partly in the fact, that it has never before been detached from the collected Works of Burns to receive those adornments of Art which have been so bountifully and lovingly bestowed on Gray's "Elegy," Goldsmith's "Deserted Village," Coleridge's "Ancient Mariner," Thomson's "Seasons," and other kindred treasures of our English verse; but chiefly in the cordial enthusiasm with which artist, engraver, printer, and binder have lent their happiest skill to present it in attire harmonious with its spiritual beauty, and worthy of its essential preciousness.

This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 33052 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regarded by many as the most comprehensive anthology of all time, ‘The Harvard Classics’ was first published in 1909 under the supervision of the Harvard president Charles W. Eliot. An esteemed academic, Eliot had argued that the elements of a liberal education could be gained by spending 15 minutes a day reading from a collection of books that could fit on a five-foot shelf. The publisher P. F. Collier challenged Eliot to make good on this statement and ‘Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf’ was the result. Eight years later Eliot added a further 20 volumes as a sub-collection titled ‘The Harvard Classics Shelf of Fiction’, offering some of the greatest novels and short stories of world literature. The exhaustive anthology of the ‘The Harvard Classics’ comprises every major literary figure, philosopher, religion, folklore and historical subject up to the twentieth century. This comprehensive eBook presents the complete anthology, with Eliot’s original introductions, numerous illustrations, rare texts and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1) * Beautifully illustrated with images relating to life and works of the authors featured in the anthology * All 51 volumes of ‘The Harvard Classics’ * Eliot’s original concise introductions * Eliot’s general introduction to the anthology (Volume 50) * The complete 20 volume edition of ‘The Harvard Classics Shelf of Fiction’ * Images of how the books were first published, giving your eReader a taste of the original texts * Excellent formatting of the texts * Major works include the original illustrations that accompanied the text * Easily locate the chapters and sections you want to read with individual contents tables * Precise arrangement of texts into the original anthology order * A veritable digital library comprised in a single eBook!
