Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Milton's Comus: Edited With Introduction and Notes
NO conscientious worker can edit or annotate any portion of the Poetical Works of Milton without an acknowledgment Of his indebtedness to David Masson, who devoted a score of years to his voluminous edition of the life and works of John Milton. The large size Of Masson's edition puts it out Of the reach of the ordinary student. The present work, while it follows in the footsteps of the nobler scholar in text, and for the most part takes his dictum in disputed renderings, aims to cover only those points that are necessary to an intelligent study of the poems included in its pages.
Thanks are extended to Dr. Rice Of the Springfield Public Library, and Superintendent Cutter Of the Bos ton Athenaeum, for many courtesies in the way of library facilities during the preparation of this little volume.
