Excerpt from Golden Treasury of Songs and Lyrics, Vol. 2 This little Collection differs, it is believed, from others in the attempt made to include in it all the best original Lyrical pieces and Songs in our language (save a very few regretfully omitted on account of length), by writers not living, - and none beside the best. Many familiar verses will hence be met with; many also which should be familiar - the Editor will regard as his fittest readers those who love Poetry so well that he can offer them nothing not already known and valued.

Excerpt from Palgrave's Golden Treasury of Songs and Lyrics, Vol. 3 From the beginnings of civilisation the poets have been the best of educators; and the need for the kind of education which poetry alone can give does not grow less as knowledge advances and the claims of other studies threaten more and more to absorb attention. No apology is required, therefore, for turning to school use the best collection that has been made, or is likely to be made, of the English and Scottish lyric poetry of the eighteenth century. Some defence, however, may be looked for from the commentator who has the presumption to seem to stand between the poets and their reader. Perhaps he would be thought to quibble if he met the charge with a denial of the fact, and urged that, in literal truth, be comes in these pages after the poets and not before them. Such is, indeed, the place he wishes to occupy to be read after the poems, and in no case until the poem commented upon has been read with care and intelligence. If this defence be insufficient, he can only repeat what he has said already in the similar edition of Book Fourth; that he does, here in his Preface, honestly warn the student that the text is the one thing of importance.

Excerpt from Notes to Palgrave's Golden Treasury of Songs and Lyrics: Books I.-IV What bird so sings, yet so does wail? Oh, 'tis the ravished nightingale Jug, jug, jug, jug, tereu, she cries; And still her woes at midnight rise. Brave prick-song Who is't now we hear? None but the lark, so shrill and clear How at heaven's gates she claps her wings, The morn not waking till she sings Hark, hark, with what a pretty throat Poor Robin red-breast tunes his note Hark how the jolly cuckoos sing Cuckoo, to welcome in the spring C'uckoo, to welcome in the spring 1.

Excerpt from The Golden Treasury: Selected From the Best Songs and Lyrical Poems in the English Language and Arranged With Notes In the arrangement, the most poetically-effective order has been attempted. The English mind has passed through phases of thought and cultivation sovarious and so Opposed during these three centuries oi Poetry, that a rapid passage between old and new, like rapid alteration of the eye's focus in looking at the landscape, will always be wearisome and hurtful to the sense of Beauty. The poems have been there fore distributed into Books corresponding, I to the ninety years closing about 1616, II thence to 1700, III to 1800, IV to the half century just ended. Or, looking at the Poets who more, or less give each portion its distinctive character, they might be called the Books of Shakespeare, Milton, Gray, and Words worth. The volume, in this respect, so far as the limitations of its range allow, accurately re ects the natural growth and evolution of our Poetry. A rigidly chronological sequence, however, rather fits a collection aiming at instruction than at pleasure, and the wisdom which comes through pleasure -within each book the pieces have therefore been arranged in gradations of feeling or subject. And it is hoped that the contents of this Anthology will thus be found to present a certain unity, as episodes, ' in the noble language of Shelley, 'to that great Poem which all poets, like the co-operating thoughts of one great mind, have built up since the beginning of the world.' As he closes his long survey, the Editor trusts he may add without egotism, that he has found the vague general verdict of popular Fame more just than those have thought, who, with too severe a criticism, would confine judgments on Poetry to the selected few of many generations.' Not many appear to have gained reputation without some gift or performance that, in due degree, deserved it and if no verses by certain writers who show less strength than sweetness, or more thought than mastery of expression, are printed in this volume, it should not be imagined that they have been excluded without much hesitation and regret, far less that they have been slighted. Throughout this vast and pathetic array of Singers now silent, few have been honoured with the name Poet, and have not possessed a skill in words, a sympathy with beauty, a tenderness of feeling, or seriousness in re ection, which render their works, although never perhapsattaining that loftier and finer excellence here required, - better worth reading than much of what fills the scanty hours that most men spare for self-improve. Ment, or for pleasure in any of its more elevated and permanent forms - And if this be true of even mediocre poetry, for how much more are we indebted to the best Like the fabled fountain of the Azores, but with a more various power, the magic of this Art can confer on each period of life its appropriate blessing: on early years Experience, on maturity Calm, on age, Youthfulness. Poetry gives treasures 'more golden than gold, ' leading us in higher and healthier ways than those of the world, and interpret ing to us the lessons of Nature. But she speaks best for herself. Her true accents, if the plan has been executed with success, may be heard throughout the following pages - wherever the Poets of England are honoured, wherever the dominant language of the world is spoken, it is hoped that they will find fit audience.
