This volume collects the poetical works of George Herbert and Reginald Heber, two prominent figures in English religious verse. Included are memoirs providing insights into their lives and literary contributions. George Herbert (1593-1633) is celebrated for his devotional poetry, marked by its sincerity and complex use of metaphor, as seen in works such as "The Temple". Reginald Heber (1783-1826), Bishop of Calcutta, is remembered for his hymns and poems that reflect his deep faith and missionary zeal. This edition, enhanced with eight engravings on steel, offers a valuable glimpse into the religious and literary landscape of their times, appealing to readers interested in Christian poetry and biographical studies of significant literary figures.
