This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... to the height of some heroical fable," as Bacon says, which is here glorified in imperishable verse. The free movement of the metre follows every turn of narration and description.
