PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION. THE Author is unwilling to permit the Third Edition of these Poems to appear, without expressing her regret, that the shortness of the time which has elapsed since their first publication has not allowed her to avail herself more fully of the valuable suggestions of different Reviewers. All that has been effected is the removal of certain obscurities, by a revision of the punctuation and by some alterations in the type. KENSINGTON: September 16, 1863. |
