Excerpt from An Essay Upon Satyr, or a Poem on the Times: Under the Names of the Golden Age, the Silver Age, the Brazen Age, and the Iron Age; To Which Is Added, a Satyr Against Separatists This indignant disclaimer forms about an eleventh part of the whole preface. Cowley's words may be accepted as sin cere, proving that he had nothing to do with the poem The foure Ages of England: ar, The Iron flge. Moreover they are supported by other evidence. Later on in the same preface Cowley explains that his folio volume of Poems, 1656, does not include all his writings in verse or even all his published writings in verse. After stating that he has excluded certain juvenilia he continues. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky (12 April 1823, Moscow, 14 June Russian Empire) was a Russian playwright, generally considered the greatest representative of the Russian realistic period. The author of 47 original plays, Ostrovsky "almost single-handedly created a Russian national repertoire." His dramas are among the most widely read and frequently performed stage pieces in Russia.

George Rapall Noyes was born on March 6, 1798 in Newburyport, Massachusetts, United States. He was the son of Nathaniel and Mary (Rapall) Noyes and a descendant of Nicholas Noyes who settled in Newbury in 1635.
George's parents intended him for the ministry but were able to do little toward his education. Nevertheless he entered Harvard at sixteen, supporting himself largely by teaching for three winters at Bradford, Bolton, and Lexington, having as his pupil in the last-named place Theodore Parker. After his graduation in 1818 he taught for a year at Framingham Academy and entered the Harvard Divinity School the year following. Noyes had been reared in the strictly orthodox Old South Presbyterian Church of Newburyport, whose pastor, Dr. Daniel Dana, had given him much help and encouragement during his school and college course, but in the liberal atmosphere of Harvard he outgrew the theology of his earlier environment and prepared to enter the Unitarian ministry. After graduating from the Divinity School in 1822, he remained at Harvard for five years longer engaged in Biblical studies.
In 1827 he was ordained and became pastor of the Unitarian church at Brookfield, Massachussets, where he remained till 1834, when he assumed the pastorate of the more important church at Petersham. During his ministry, which was faithfully and successfully performed, he continued his Biblical studies and published An Amended Version of the Book of Job (1827) and A New Translation of the Book of Psalms (1831). These, together with a number of scholarly articles on Biblical and theological subjects which appeared chiefly in the Christian Examiner, revealed him as one of the ablest Biblical scholars of his day and led to his dual appointment in 1840 as Hancock Professor of Hebrew and Oriental Languages and Dexter Lecturer on Biblical Literature and Theology in the Harvard Divinity School. These positions he held for the remainder of his life.
Noyes published translations of the entire Old Testament except the historical books, but the work which probably constitutes his most secure title to remembrance is his translation of the New Testament (1869), based on the text of Tischendorf. Completed during the last months of his life, it was not published till after his death. It is characterized by faithfulness to the original, clearness, simplicity, and dignity, and is often rated as one of the best ever made. Like his other scriptural translations, however, it is somewhat lacking in the poetic and imaginative qualities.
For nearly thirty years Noyes was a leading spirit in the teaching and administration of the Harvard Divinity School and a formative influence in the lives of generations of students in a time of theological ferment and transition. He was thoroughly familiar with German scholarship and a pioneer in the United States in the critical study of the Bible, early reaching conclusions which have long since become widely accepted, but were then branded as heretical.

Noyes was entirely reverent and conservative in temper but his intellectual honesty was so great that he often went counter to his own predilections in his logical following of the critical method. That he had the courage of his convictions is shown by his publication, at a time when it made him liable to prosecution for blasphemy under an old statute, of a statement that he found no prediction in the Prophets of Jesus as the Messiah.
On May 8, 1828, Noyes married Eliza Wheeler Buttrick of Framingham, Massachussets. Of their five children to grow to maturity, four sons were graduates of Harvard.
