- Review
- Prints, following Thomas Warton (1778), two passages from CA that "convey a lively impression of the author" and adds portions of two tales (no source given): "Rosiphele" IV, 1283-1328, 1430-34, and "The Travelers and the Angel," II, 291-364; glosses at bottom of page. Brief biography, with portrait.
A fourth edition (1893), edited by Robert Carruthers, titled "Chambers's Cyclopaedia of English Literature: A History, Critical and Biographical of British Authors with Specimens of Their Writings," I:22-23, prints "Two Coffers," CA V, 2273-2390, instead of "Rosiphele" and "The Travelers."
