AN ECLECTIC LIBRARY.—Christian History.

Henry Hart Milman

Henry Hart Milman had two distinct careers: one as a poet and dramatist, and Professor of Poetry at Oxford; the second as a historian, and Dean of St. Paul’s.

Dramatic and Poetic Works.

Fazio, a tragedy. By H. H. Milman, B.A. Oxford: Printed by Samuel Collingwood; sold by J. Parker; and J. Murray, London. 1815.
Third edition. London: John Murray, 1818.

The Fall of Jerusalem. A dramatic poem by the Rev. H. H. Milman. New edition. London: John Murray, 1820.

“Those whom duty might not induce to compare the long narrative of Josephus with the Scriptural prediction of the ‘Abomination of Desolation’ may be tempted by the embellishments of poetic language, and the interest of a dramatic fable.”

Belshazzar: A dramatic poem. By the Rev. H. H. Milman, Professor of Poetry in the University of Oxford. London: John Murray, 1822.
Boston: Wells and Lilly, 1822. —It was sincere if not always welcome praise to an English writer that his work was pirated by an American bookseller as quickly as it could cross the Atlantic.

Anne Boleyn: A dramatic poem. By the Rev. H. H. Milman. London: John Murray, 1826.

Historical Works.

The History of the Jews, from the earliest period to the present time. By Rev. H. H. Milman. With maps and engravings. New York: The Bradley company, [no date]. —The preface, which presents it as the second edition of “this little work,” is dated 1830, and the type in the interior is of the heavy “modern” style popular then. The volumes appear to be a reissue of the late 1800s printed from very old stereotype plates.

Vol. I.

Vol. II.

Vol. III.

The History of Christianity, from the Birth of Christ to the Abolition of Paganism in the Roman Empire. By the Rev. H. H. Milman. With a preface and notes by James Murdock, D.D. New-York: Harper & Brothers, 1841. —Neatly printed in two columns, so that the whole work fits in one volume.

History of Latin Christianity: including that of the popes to the pontificate of Nicholas V. By Henry Milman, D.D., Dean of St. Paul's. Eight volumes in four. New York: A. C. Armstrong and Son, or Thomas Y. Crowell & Co. [various dates]. —The dates are later than the fourth edition above, but this appears to be taken from the second edition. A note in the preface to the third edition mentioning that the work had been stereotyped in America may provide the explanation: the point of investing in stereotyping is that you intend to print the book more than once without alteration.
