" NOTE BY THE AUTHOR

TO THE EDITION OF 1857.

IN these volumes, for the first time, a complete collection
of my poetical writings has been made. While it is satifactory
to know that these scattered children of my brain have found a home, I
cannot but regret that I have been unable, by reason of illness,
to give that attention to their revision and arrangement, which
respect for the opinions of others and my own afterthought and
experience demand.

That there are pieces in this collection which I would "willingly
let die," I am free to confess. But it is now too late to disown
them, and I must submit to the inevitable penalty of poetical
as well as other sins. There are others, intimately connected
with the author's life and times, which owe their tenacity of
vitality to the circumstances under which they were written,
and events by which they were suggested.

The long poem of Mogg Megone was, in a great measure, composed in
early life; and it is scarcely necessary to say that its
subject is not such as the writer would have chosen at any
subsequent period. "
