"This handsome Victorian prize-binding edition of The Works of George Herbert in Prose and Verse , published by Frederick Warne & Co., London c.1890, presents the celebrated devotional poet's writings in the distinguished Lansdowne Poets series. Edited from the latest editions and enriched with a memoir, explanatory notes, and fine engraved illustrations, the volume offers a comprehensive treatment of Herbert's poetry, prose, and Latin and Greek verse. The opening portrait and the meticulous page design—complete with red ruling—are characteristic of Warne's high-quality literary gift editions of the late nineteenth century.

Bound in full polished calf and stamped with the gilt crest of Eildon House, Fairfield, Liverpool , the book includes a prize plate dated 1894, awarding it for "Religious Knowledge," which adds both provenance and charm. The marbled endpapers, gilt edges, and richly tooled spine further enhance its presentation as a fine Victorian gift volume. A beautiful example of devotional literature and nineteenth-century craftsmanship, this edition will appeal to collectors of classic poetry, admirers of Anglican devotional writing, and those who appreciate ornate Victorian prize bindings."
