Elegy In A Country Churchyard And Other Selections PDF Download

Excerpt from Elegy Written in Country Churchyard: And Other Poems The great improvement that has taken place, within a few years, in the art of Engraving on Wood, as well as its general adoption, in some measure superseding the use Of Copper and Steel, led to the present attempt to apply this mode of embellishment to a Poem of such general and deserved celebrity, and which appeared to afford the greatest scope for the talents of the artist. The elegy itself has long been universally acknow ledged as one of the most elegant compositions which the English language ever produced.
