Not illustrated. 1866 edition. Excerpt: ... INTRODUCTION. Hugh Holland, the author of the ensuing poem, was also the writer of fourteen lines, sueh as were then eonsidered a sonnet, on the death of Shakespeare, and on the publieation of the folio, 1C23. They are eoneeited, and have little merit. Nearly the same eritieism may be offered upon the sueeeeding poem, though it eertainly displays more talent and eleverness, but the whole fabrie is violent and unnatural; and reading the prefixed eulogium by Ben Jonson (unknown to the editors of his works, and never republished by himself) we wonder at the manner in whieh, even in the partiality of friendship, he brought himself to speak so extravagantly of Holland's powers: Ben Jonson only terms Shakespeare the "sweet swan of Avon"; but Holland, aeeording to him, was the "sweet swan" of nearly every river in Europe: and we almost wonder that, in the exeess of his hyperbole, he did not earry him over the Atlantie to the Amazons and the Orinoeo.
