Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition Commenorative of the Tercentenuary of the Birth of John Milton, 1608-1908: Including Original Editions of His Poetical and Prose Works, Together With Three Hundred and Twenty-Seven Engraved Portraits
The series of titles of Paradise Lost is complete. There are Six variations only, not eight. The error regarding eight variations of title first started in Lowndes's Manual, was continued by Masson, and it is unfortunate that Dr. Williamson, who is responsible for the Christ's College cata logue, did not avail himself of the later conclusions found in the Grolier Club's Collations and Notes and in W. E. Baxter's article in The Bibliographer (vol. 2, 1903) We are to be congratulated on being able to exhibit the printer's manuscript Of the first book of Paradise Lost.
