PREFACE TO THE THIED EDITION-
TsE present edition of thta wcork has been delayed by
the atitbor*-3 absence abroad for Home years, and hy other
causes which need not be detailed here. It has aovr been
carefoUy revised, and enriched with much new matter.
Indeed, nothing ia bo striking a3 the alterationa which this
interraL has necessitated — the ravages which death has
made in the ranks of oar great poets since the last edition
was issued. Southey, Wordsworth, Moore, Wilson, Mont-
gomery, Elliott, Joanna BaiUie, Caroline Bowles Sonthcy,
«nd Rogers, have since then disappeared from the scene.
In Rogers, was snapped the link which bonnd living authors
to a long-past period. He tells ns himseK that he coizld
remember seeing one of the beads of the rebels of 1745
still remfuning on Temple Bar. He had seen Garrick act ;
he was cotemporaiy with Johnson and Boswell, Gibbon,
Cowper, Horace Walpole, Howard the philanthropist ; and
saw General Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia, who
uid he had shot snipes in Conduit Street He had
associated with Mrs, Piozzi ; heard Sir Joshua Reynolds

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.
The aubject of tlie present 7ork is reiy extensive, and
it waa soon foond neceaaaiy to leave out the Dramatic
Poeta for separate treatment To them may pebbly be
added Bucb otber of oor eminent poets aa could not be
included in tbe present work. It will be recollected that
it is professedly on the Hotaes and Haunts of the Poeta,
and is not strictly biographicaL For this reason there are
some poeta of considerable eminence, who will find com-
paratively small mention ; and others none, not becanse
they are not entitled to much notice, bat because there
is little or Dothing of deep interest or novelty connected
with their homes and abodes.
8ince the publtcation of the former edition of this
work, many freah. incidents in the lives of the poets in-
cluded in it have taken place, and a considerable number
of those then living ore now deceased. In order to notice
accurately these changes, the whole work has been care-
fully revised.

at Uie expense of the Eorl of Esaei ; " bin heftrse fttUndedf** says
Ounden, ** by poetA, uid mournful elenea and poenus with tbe peiu
that wrote thsm, thrown into hia tomh."
There is much that we naturally are aniioua to know oonneet«d
with the final bte and bmJly of Spender. How hlfi childron actuaJly
«3capod 7 What became of them, and their claim on the property ?
When the property of Kilcolman was lost to the poet^s descendants 1
Of all this nelt to nothing ia known. The hterati of that age do
not seem to have given themselTea any trouble to preserve the &cts
of the history of their illufltrioua cotemporaries. Shakspeare and
Speoser were left to the cold keeping of careless tradition. The
particulara, beyond what we have a&eady given, are very few.
Spenaer*a widow returned to Ireland, and there brought up her
children. Of theee Sylvanus, as eldest son, inherited Bennie and
Kilcoluian. It appears that he found aome difficulty with hia
mother, Spenaer's widow, who married again, to a Roger Seckeratone,
and was ooKged to petition the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, to obtain
from hia mother and her new husband documente belonging to hia
estate, which they withheld. He married, ae already stated, Ellen
N^le, of Monanimy, south of Kilcolman, of a Catholic family^ a
circuEoatance which had a great effect on the fortunes of their
descendanl^, as connecting them with the unsuccessful party in the
troubles of Ireland. His eldest son died without issue, and his
second son, William^ succeeded to Kilootman. The property of
William, being seized on by tbe Commonwealth pSTty, was ordered
to be restored to him by Cromwell, but ia supposed to have only
1-een regained at the Restoration. He had three other grants of land
in the counties of Galway and Roscommon ; in the latter, tbe estate
of Ballinasloe. At the Revolution be joined King William, nho for
bin serrioea gmnled him the estate of his couein Hugoline, of
Ketinie. Tlds Hugoline was the son of Porcgrioe, the poet's youngest
ion, who had Rennie made over to him by his eldest brother,
Sylvanus. Hugoline took part with his Catholic relatives, and
aiding with King James at the Revolution, was outlawed, and hia
Sroperty at Rennie made over to his cousin William, Thus the
E^ccndanta of Sylvanus, or the eldest son of the poet, became the
oqIv known posterity of tbe poet. The deecendants of William,
iiA therefore of Sylvsnus Spenser, the elder male line, pos^^OF^fied
Rennie till 1734, soon after i^bich this tine became extinct. There
sre atiU in Ireland persons claiming to be descendants, by the
mother's side, from Spenser ; and the Ttavera, of Clifton, near Cork,
aie lineal descendants of Spenser's sister Samh and John Travers, th
friend of the poet's, who accompanied him to Ireland, and had the
townlands of Ardenbone and Knocknocaplo given to him bjy Spenser
as his sister's marriage dowry. The descendants of tbis sister
Dumber amongst many distinguished families of Ireland, those of the
Earis of Cork and Orrery, Eirl Shannon, Lord Doneraile, Earl of
Clanwilliam, etc.
The fame of Spenser is not quite rooted out of the minds of the
noij^Uniriiig peaaiuitij. I inquired of an old man and his familj,

kng after he had mounted into an actor himjwlf within the theatre,
the nuDS of Shakspeare^s boya. That he bocame " an actor at oDe of
the playhouaefl, and did act exceedind^ well^" Aubrey tella ua. He
ia supposed to have acted Old Knoweil io Ben Jonaon's " Every Uan
m hie Humour ;" and Oldya telb oe that a relative of ShakBpeare,
then in advanced age, but who in his youth bad boen in the habit of
Tisiting London for the porpoae of seeing him act in some of his
ownpliiya, told Mr, Jooea of Tarbeck, that ^ he had a faint recollection
of havinff once seen him act a part in one of his own oomediea,
Khereiii, being to peraoBsate adecrepit old mao, be wore along beard,
and appear^ ho weak and drooping, and unable to walkj that he watt
fon»d to be supported, and carried by another peraon to a table, At
which he waa aeated amongat eoma company who were eating, and
one of them aang a aong " This is supposed to have been in the
cbancter of Adajo^ in ^Ax you like it;" and henoe it hae been
inferred, in connexion with his acting the Qhost in Hamlet, and Old
Knowell, that he took chiefly old or elderly choracters-
Every glimpae of this extraordinary man, who> however much he
mi^t have heen acknowledged and eetimated in his own day,
certainly lived long before his time, is deeply interesting. That he
waa estimated highly we know from Jonaon himaelf : —

When the two monarcke under whom Shakspeare lived admired
and patronized him* we may be sure that Shakspeare^s great merits
were perceivedt aud that vividly, though the age had not that
intellectiial eipaoHion which could enable It to rise above its
prejudices againat a player, and comprehend that Shakapeare's
divnaa were not merely the most wonderful dramas, but the moat
wgndtrfol eipoeitiona of human life and nature that had ever
ippeared' Feoiile were too busy enjoying the splendid scenes
pTCsented to them by this great geniiis^ to note down for the
gratification of posterity the daily aoinga, coonexioDS, and where-
aboute of the man with whom they were so familiar. He grew rich,
however, by their Hocking to his theatre, and disappeared from
amongst them.
In thie theatre of Blackfriars he rose to great popularity both as
u actor and dramatic author, and became a proprietor. It wss
nndcr the management of Richard Burbage, who waa also a share-
ht^der in the Globe Theatre at Bankside, To the theatre at
BgdaE^ude, Shakspearc also transferred himself, and there he became,
in 1603, the lessee. There he seems to have continued about ten
ytATv, or tiU 1613 ; having, however, so early as 1597, purchased one
(tf the best bousea in hia native town of Stratford, repaired and
improved it, and that so much, that he named it New Place. To
Uiia, as hia proper home, he yearly retired when the theatrical
Kaaon doaeo ; and having made a comfortable fortune, when the
theatre wafl burnt down in 1613 retired from public life altogether.

Theao vere the acanea where Shakspeare acted, fbrwTddi he mote
hia dmnaa, and where, like a careful aud thriving nian u he vaa,
ho made a fortune before bo waa fortv, calculated to bo equal to
IfiOOL a-jear at present. He had a brother, also, on the ati^ at the
ame time with himeelf, who died in 1607, and waa buried in St.
Savionr'a Chnrch, South wark, where his name is entered in the pariah
raster as '^ Edmund Shakapeare, a placer."
The place where he was accustomed particularly to reaoit for
Mdal recreation was the Mermaid TavBTn, Fndaj-streeti Cheapside,
Ilia waa the wita^ house for a long period. There a club for bfamd^
ctfriU waa eetablishod by Sir Walter Weigh, and here came, in their
A^reral days and times, Spenser, Shakspearej Philip Sidney, Jodbod,
Beuimont and Fletcher, Maasingorj Manowe, Selden, Cotton, Carew,
Uutiu, Doime, Wottoii, and aU the brave spirits of those ages.
Here Jonaon and Shakapeare used to shine out by the brilliancy of
thdr powers, and in their " witnximbats,*' in which Fuller deacnbea
Jonsou aa a Spanish great galUcm, and Shakspeare aa the EnalUh ma/t'
^par. **Uaster Jonson, tike the former, was built Irt ni^her in
kaniing ; aolid, but alow in bia performances. 8hakGj>eare, with the
^ttlw)' man-of-war, lesser in bulk but lighter in sailing, could turn
witti all tides, tack about, and take advantage of all winds, by the
qtdcfcnna of his wit and hie jnventioa*^ Enough has been said of
vns <«1ebTated club by a variety of writers. There can be no doubt
that there wit and merriment abounded to that degree, that, ae
Beamnont has said in his epietie to Jonson, one of their meetings
WI0 epongh to make up for all the stupidity of the city for three
days paat, and supply it for long to come ; to make the worst com-
puioos right witty, and " downright fools more wise." There is aa
nttU doubt, however, that with Jouson in the chair, drinking ,would
be as pre-eminent as the wit. The verses which be had inscribed
over tzie door of the Apollo room, at the Devil Tavern, another of
th«ir TGBorta, are, spite of all vindications bj ingenious pens, too
icidicatjve of that.

thent tomoko their way in the world, should be left so to m^^ thoiF
wmy. The lUktion would then have discharged its parental datiea
towwdfl ihero, and they could expect no more. *!niey ihoold be
educated to expect no more, and uiore ahould not be extended to
them, except in cae« of ntter miafortune or deetitution, and then
oafy on w, acale that ahould be in itaelf no temptation.
So^ an estate, founded by the peopJe, would be the noblest
momonent erer yet erected to any man, or on any occasion. Shak-
qieare baa a decant monument at Stiatford, end an indifferent one
in WeatmuiBter Abbey ; tbia would be one worthy of him &nd of the
naticA which ^roduoDd him. It would take away &om ua a melan-
cfaoly in^rolmumT *^^ oonfer on him and the Britiah people an
auual ^ciTjr.
fiat though moh a magnificent event, we fear, ia very for distant,
it la « ploaanre to be able to state, that the house in wuich the poet
was bcm has been purchasecLae well aa the a4j^ir)ing houses, ao as to
be able to iaolat« the birthplaoe, and make it more eecure from fire^
Four tenements, adjoining the birthplace on the western side> were
pnTohaaed by the 8tratford Committee, some yeare ago, for 8S(>/., and
nre been paid for by degreee- The portion of tho property known
as tho birthplano, iuoludjng the Swan and Maidenhead Inn, was
nmhased at public auction in 1847, by the Stratford and London
Oommhtoofi, for 3,000i, and conveTed in trust to Lord Carlisle, Mr.
Ihomaa Amyott, Mr. Payne Collierj Dr. Thomas Thomson, of
Leamington ; tmd Mr. Flower of Stratford and other gentlemen are
trostoea for the former purchaaee.
Since then, Mr. John Shakapeare^ the Orientalist, who claims to be
descended &om an ancestor of the poet, has munificently paid into
the Stratford Bank, in the name of nine local trueteea, the sum of
IfiOOl^ for the purpose of purchaaing and taking down tho buildings
immodiately adjoining the house, so as to cairy out the plan of ita
■ecmre isolation, and to put it into thorough repair. I understand
that Mr. Shakspeare is desirous to have the whole house enclosed iu
s miniature CrysieJ Palace, to defend it ^m the destroying infiueDcea
of the weather. The houae is now shown to the public free of
chttgi^but anyone is at liberty to give a trifle towards the necessary
ftxpense of keeping it open to inspection.

As a Specimen of hia GctioOf Johnson haa quoted hia deeoriptioii
of tlio archangel Qabriel :

Thia comes but indifferently after a passage of Byron or Sbelley-
But, in laot, Cowley eeema to have been a man who could not be
permanently and decidedly anything. He could not rise out of
affectation^ and dubious, l^way sort of positions, either in poetry
(V in life. He would £fun pass for an ardent lover and general
admirer of the fair sex, and published a poem called " The Miatresa,"
on the ground stated in the preface to one of ita editions, " That
poets are scarcely thought freemen of their company, without
pAyiog Bome duties, or obliging tbemaelvea to be true to love." Thia
IS genuine Cowley : he did not write a poem on a love eubject
bec»iae he woa full of the aubject, but because it seemed to bo
eipectdd of a poet- It was not passion and admiration that fired
hifa, bat it was neceasaiT to appearances that he should do It- He
waa unluckily always spying about ou the outside of his subject, and
never pluncine boldly into li. He was like a man who, instead of
enjoying his house, should always bo standing in the &ont, and
asking paasengers what they thought of it, and if it did not look very
fine 1 or, if not, where he could lay on some plaster, or put up
a Teranda T This sentiment is strikingly expressed by the very
opening Una of hia poems : — -

Thus tho Priace of Poetfl, aa H&zditt atyled him, bImtmi in good
company. The times in which ha lived, and the part he Uml ia
them, were certain to load hia name with ohloquy and misrapr^
mentation ; but the solemn dignity of hia life, and the loftj tooe wd
Erinciple of bia writing, more and more suffioe not aolj to riu&ata
Lm, but to commend liim to poaterity. No man ever loined hber^
and virtue with a purer admion ; no man ever laboofad m ^at
«auae with a more diatinguiahed Eaal ; no man enr brought to the
task a more gloriona geniua, accompli^ed with a mora oooBiunniala
learning. Milton was the ooblcet model of a deroted paianot ind
true fSglishman ; and the atudy of hia wo^ is the most OHtain
means of perpotuating to hia country afurita worthj of her
greatneu.

Alto, hizu8el( in 1721, bat two years afterwarda. The estate then
derolTed to Lord Keneingtou, deecended from Robert Rich, Earl of
Warwick, who aold it, about 176% to the Right Honourable Henry
Fox, afterwards Lord Holland. Here the early days of the great
sUtfBinaii, Charlee James, were passed ; and here lived the late
patriotic tAnalator of Lope de V^a, amid the Aodety of the first
qnrits of the age^ It has been rumoured that the present amiable
iftd intelligent possessor, his son, contemplated polling down this
TonoAble and remarkahb manmon. Such a thought never did, and
never could, for a moment enter his mind, which feels too proudlv
the honouA of intellect and taste, far above all mere rank, wUcn
there mrroiuid hie nazne and funily.

flowing pencil of a ituben& I noticed a Jewiah hign-pries^ irhom I
nviuuieejna^ogue last year, and two other gentlemen of London,
vbolubd nt at her reaueat. With &11 theae accompliahmenta, she dis-
wren a modesty ana homiJity which, united with a atrong under-
■Uodzng and a aevout heart, aot her as &r above the common level
df aortela aa tho summit of the Alps riaes auperior to the valea

vU^ are common to the familv— a fluencv in the French langua^
nd m eiegani touch of the narpsichora and organ. The third
intlo ii a cousin ; but I was not enough in her company to asoer-
tib mooh of her oharacter. The last thing she talked to me about
VM tba wiah ahe had to enter a nnnnerv, and take the veil. Hot

To this pleasing insight into the &mi1y of the Tigh^ ra which the

vma aqieot, conatitute the chief figures, Mr. Pierce adds a mention
