Abstract
The revival of interest in the picturesque past made the decade following 1760 a period of notable importance. The Ossianic poems, from 1760 to 1763, Evans's Specimens, 1764, Hurd's Letters on Chivalry and Romance, 1762, the second edition of Warton's Observations, 1762, the Castle of Otranto, 1764, and Percy's Reliques, 1765, form a rather imposing array as documents of the romantic revival. Anything, therefore, which casts light on this movement during these years may be not without value, and it is to serve this purpose that the group of Percy-Warton letters is here offered to the reader. Some extracts from them were included in footnotes in Dr. Rinaker's study of Thomas Warton, but the correspondence has never been printed entire. The three Percy letters in the Huntington library, which are here added, have not previously appeared in print.
