BASIL MONTAGU PICKERING, 196, PICCADILLY, LONDON, W. Fcap. 8vo. cloth, 4s. SONGS OF INNOCENCE AND EXPERIENCE, BY WITH OTHER POEMS. WILLIAM BLAKE. Printed from the Original Edition of 1789-1794, and 6 Critical Preface. "The public ought to feel very much indebted to Mr. Pickering for placing within general reach, and in a neat and befitting form, Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience.' This is the first time of their publication in anything like compactness and unity. . . The songs only require to be known to be loved with a tenderness and enthusiasm which it is not given to many poets to .. Montesquieu said that he had never known any care which was not removed by an hour's reading. One may say of the Songs of Innocence that there are few cares which they are not sure to lighten, and few minds in which they will fail to breed happier and brighter moods.”— Saturday Review, Jan. 5th, 1867. arouse.... "The admirers of W. Blake as a poet-and they are a rapidly increasing number-owe much to Mr. Pickering for this reprint of Blake's 6 Happy songs Every child may joy to hear."" Notes and Queries, Jan. 26th, 1867. "Of all enthusiasts, the painter Blake seems to have been the most remarkable. With what a hearty faith he believed in his faculty of seeing spirits and conversing with the dead! and what a delightful vein of madness it was-WITH WHAT EXQUISITE VERSES IT INSPIRED HIM!"-LORD LYTTON.
