MILLER, 404 OXFORD STREET.\n\nTHE ENTIRE WORKS OF SIR THOMAS BROWN;\nTHE WORKS OF SIR WILLIAM DAVENANT; OF KILLIGREW;\nOF BEAUMONT AND FLETCHER; AND OF\nEDMUND SPENSER.\n\nGREGORY THE SEVENTH;\n\nA Tragedy, with an Essay on Tragic Influence, by R. H. Horne, author of \"Cosmo de' Medici;\" \"The Death of Marlowe,\" &c.; published (1840) at 5s.; reduced to 2s. 6d.\n\n\"Mr. Horne is unlucky not to have lived in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. His dramas then would have been acted. And they now might have been reprinted with notes and illustrations. No critic, in that case, would have objected that his language was so like that of the old dramatists; the critic would only have admired.\"\u2014Statesman.\n\n\"There are finer things to be found in his writings than in any dramatist since the age of Elizabeth. His Gregory\u00a0VII.' will live among the best dramas, so long as dramatic literature shall exist in England. Its success will be slow, but it will be indestructible.\"\u2014Monthly Chronicle..\n\n\"It is mighty and overwhelming. The destiny of empires, the assumption of thrones, the rights of man, the domination of sacerdotal power, wielding the thunder-bolts of heaven, are the topics embodied in this great work. The next age will appreciate it more completely than the present, when successive criticisms shall have revealed, discussed, and determined its claims. We regard it as the noblest production of its class that has for many years conferred honour upon the literature of the country.\"\u2014Atlas.\n\n\"We have a grand whole before us; the work of an Artist.\"\u2014Monthly Review.\n\n\"The noble tragedy of 'Gregory VII.'\"\u2014British and Foreign Review.\n\n\"Mr. Horne is a man of the most unquestionable genius.\"\u2014Westminster Review.\n\n\"A dramatist whose sterling works, however admired by his contemporaries, will be studied with still deeper reverence when their classic worth shall be consecrated by the hoar of ages.\"\u2014Dedication of the \"Hungarian Daughter.\"\n\n\"Mr. R. H. Horne's noble dramas are not the mere wordy imitations of the elder dramatists, but kindred productions, inspired by a like vigorous and splendid imagination. alike guided by the instinct of a lofty genius, at once penetrating and universal. They are the outpourings of a rich and abundant genius. To such works, performance can add no honours, and the neglect of them can only be a reproach to the managers and their patrons.\"\u2014Tomlins' Brief View of the Drama.\n\nSCHLEGEL'S LECTURES\n\nOn Dramatic Art and Literature; translated from the original German, by John Black, with an Introduction, by R.
