Life of William Blake

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In Vol. II. Will also now be found an Essay on Blake, by James Smetham, republished (by per mission) from the London Quarieif/y Review. Its fine qualities and its inaccessibility will, I feel assured, make it welcome here as an important accession to a work which aims 'to gather to a focus all the light that can be shed on Blake and on the creations of his genius.
