Originally published in 1861, the book contains a selection of the finest English poetry from the medieval period to the mid-nineteenth century.

The book is divided into four sections: love, nature, patriotism, and religion. Each section contains a variety of poems, including works by William Shakespeare, John Milton, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and many others. The book has been praised for its selection of poems and its accessible style, making it a popular choice for students and poetry enthusiasts alike. The Golden Treasury of the Best Songs and Lyrical Poems in the English Language has become a classic of English literature and remains a beloved anthology today.1882. Francis Turner Palgrave, was remembered as the friend of Tennyson, the editor of The Golden Treasury and the twenty-first Professor of Poetry at Oxford. He describes his Golden Treasury: This little collection differs, it is believed, from others in the attempt made to include in it all the best original Lyrical pieces and Songs in our language, by writers not living, and none beside the best. Many familiar verses will hence be met with; many also which should be familiar. The Editor will regard as his fittest readers those who love Poetry so well, that he can offer them nothing not already known and valued.
