"The poem is of considerable length, extending to more than 10,000 verses, yet Hazlitt hardly exaggerates, when he says that 'half the lines are got by heart'; indeed a diligent student of later English literature has read great part of Hudibras though he may never have opened its pages" (Encycl. Britannica). Original full calf,with single gilt filet lines at covers. Hinges weak, but good, clean and sound copy of this classic text. |
