We beheyed that notwiastandinglhe eomparative low price .. at which Birov " s works arenow- published by . Mr . McHRiv , that thousands of the working class—the class this paper isspeckllv addressed to—knew little or nothing of them . ' Cheap and 'legitimate editionsi of VonJwm , Cain , and the Vaion of Judgment , | have teeneirculatedto some considerable extent , bat the rest of the ppetfs works are almost entirely unknown to the millions . To let our . readers know something of the beauties of the poetry , they have been used to hear 90 much denounced by . the puritanical arid hypo

      critical , and to inspire them with the . desire to culti-¦ v ate a knowledge of the works of one of their greatest countrymen , has been our object . Of course no leader of , the Northern Star will' rest satisfied with the mere extracts we give in these columns : oh the contrary , each will naturally ., be desirous to possess the poet ' s works in full , and set about obtaining them , unless absolutely prevented by poverty . We have no piratical view of transferring Btros's works to our columns , on the contrary , bur object is to promote their legitimate circulation amongst that class which hitherto has not known them at all , or known them but imperfectly .

      - Bvbos has not only vindicated free thought ; he has also , in language most superbly poetical , ' denounced tyrants and their tyranny ; the curse and crimes of war , and the many other enormities committed bv mau upon his fellow-man .
