A Scarce Full Collection of Byrons Works, Letters and Journals 13 Volumes In Total.

PREFACE TO THE POEMS.

THE text of the present issue of Lord Byron's Poetical Works is based on that of The Works of Lord Byron, in six volumes, 12mo, which was published by John Murray in 1831. That edition followed the text of the successive issues of plays and poems which appeared in the author's lifetime, and were subject to his own revision, or that of Gifford and other accredited readers. A more or less thorough collation of the printed volumes with the MSS. which were at Moore's dis posal, yielded a number of variorum readings which have appeared in subsequent editions published by John Murray. Fresh collations of the text of individual poems with the original MSS. have been made from time to time, with the result that the text of the latest edition (one-vol. 8vo, 1891) includes some emendations, and has been supplemented by additional variants. Textual errors of more or less importance, which had crept into the numerous editions which succeeded the seventeen volume edition of 1832, were in some instances corrected,

PREFACE.

MOORE, in his Life of Byron, numbers and prints 561 letters; Halleck, in the American edition of Byron's Works, prints 635. In this edition 1198 letters are collected.

A chronological list of the 1198 letters, together with a statement of the authorities for the text, will be found on pages 459-492 of this volume.

I desire to express my gratitude to the Rev. Canon Evans and to Mr. G. H. Holden, for the care and labour which they have given to the correction of the proof-sheets of all the volumes. To Mr. Richard Edg cumbe I am indebted for some interesting information.

The Index is the work of Mr. C. Eastlake Smith.

July 1, 1901.
