PREFATORY NOTE.

In this collection of the Author's Poems and Dramas will be found some not before printed, and some entirely re-written from the more imperfect productions of earlier years. Few, if any, of the poems that have previously appeared, have escaped revision and alteration.

The collection commences with the Poem of "The New Timon," as the first of the Author's publications in verse, (with the exception of his Dramas and the

Translations from Schiller,"*) which was popularly successful.

Republished, with corrections, in one volume, by MESSRS. BLACKWOOD, and forming a companion to the volumes in this edition.

LONDON, December, 1851.
