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. 
 
 The following testimony to its great merit is not, 
 perhaps, generally known, and will not here be inappro- 
 priately introduced. 
 
 General Wolfe received a copy on the eve of the 
 assault on Quebec ; he was so struck with its beauty, that 
 he is said to have exclaimed, that he would have preferred 
 being its author, to that of being the victor in the pro- 
 jected attack in which he so gloriously lost his life. 
 
The favour with which this edition may be received, 
 will be entirely owing to the talents of the eminent artists 
 who have so kindly seconded the Editor, if he may apply 
 such a word, in his wish to produce a specimen of beau- 
 tiful and appropriate illustration in this branch of the 
 Pine Arts ; and to them he begs to return his sincerest 
 thanks. 
 
 JOHN MARTIN. 
 
 London. 
 Oct. 10th, 1834. 
 
 A polyglott edition of this poem has been published, 
 containing versions in the Greek, Latin, German, French, 
 and Italian languages, accompanied with the English 
 text. 
 
 v 
 
The favourable reception which this edition of one 
 of the most popular poems in the English language has 
 obtained, and the numerous translations which exist bear- 
 ing ample testimony to its harmonious composition, has 
 led to preparing this polyglott edition. 
 
 Perhaps few of the admirers of this elegant poem 
 in its native tongue are aware of the homage paid to 
 its eminent merits, by the attempts to render its beau- 
 ties accessible to foreign readers : a list of these would 
 occupy a considerable space, but those who are desirous 
 of becoming acquainted with them, will find a very co- 
 pious collection in the magnificent library of George III. 
 in the British Museum ; it is, however, by no means 
 complete. 
 
 Translations into Greek and Latin are the most 
 numerous, principally by Etonians, with whom Gray 
 stands so deservedly high. The difficulty in selecting 
 the version in the former language has happily been 
 removed, the refined taste of the author of " The Pur- 
 
Vlll 
 
 suits of Literature" having stamped the seal of his criti- 
 cal authority on that adopted. 
 
 " Gray glanced from high, and owned his rival Cooke."* 
 
 The Latin version is from the pen of the Rev. 
 William Hildyard, who has most kindly permitted the 
 editor to make use of it for this edition. 
 
 The German translation is printed from a collection 
 of poetry in that language, entitled " Deutsches Lese- 
 buch," Bremen, 1837, 8vo. the author of which sub- 
 scribes himself Gotten. 
 
 The Italian version is by Guiseppe Torelli, and has 
 been selected from several at the recommendation of a 
 distinguished native of that country, deservedly con- 
 sidered the highest authority in Italian literature of the 
 present day. 
 
 * This version is printed at the end of an edition of Aristotle 
 on Poetry, edited by W. Cooke. 8vo. Cantab. 1785. The author 
 alluded to states that, in many passages, <: Nature, Gray, and Cooke, 
 do seem to contend for the mastery, but, above all, in the famous 
 stanza, 
 
 ' The boast of heraldry,' &c. 
 
 Bion, or Moschus, never exceeded these lines : I think they never 
 equalled them." 
 
IX 
 
 The French translation is by Le Tourneur, author 
 also of a similar attempt with " Young's Night Thoughts" 
 and " Hervey's Meditations;" a language, it would ap- 
 pear, the least capable of any other of communicating a 
 faithful idea of the original. 
 
 It had been wished to have added versions in the 
 Spanish and Portuguese languages, which are said to 
 exist ; but although diligent search has been made, it was 
 without success. 
 
 It is impossible to conclude this slight notice of this 
 poem without a feeling of exultation at the tribute paid 
 by foreigners to the transcendant merits of a composition, 
 which the highest critical authority in our own country 
 has declared it would be idle to praise.

 The vignette on the title-page, engraved hy W. H. Powis, is a view 
 of Stoke- Poges church, Buckinghamshire, the church-yard of which 
 is the scene of this celebrated poem, and near which is a monument 
 erected to the memory of Gray by the late John Penn, Esq. of Stoke 
 Park. The drawing, by John Constable, Esq. R.A. has been kindly 
 offered to the editor since the publication of the former edition, and is 
 in the possession of Samuel Rogers, Esq. 
 
 The tomb of the poet is at the south-east corner of the chancel, 
 near that of his aunt, Mrs. Mary Antrobus.
