The editor of this work, David Masson was a Scottish academic who made regular contributions to 'Fraser's Magazine', 'Dublin University Magazine' and many other contemporary periodicals. Masson's true scholarly prowess lay in his Milton editorials. His magnum opus was his 'Life of Milton in Connexion with the History of His Own Time'. His library edition of Milton's works first appeared in 1874.
These three volumes contain Milton's minor poems as well as his famous epic poem, 'Paradise Lost'.
