Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Countess Munster
Change is the soul of life; how far this may apply to literature, I leave others to determine: Of varie ties this volume is formed, and as I have no given ground on which to raise the foundation of my pre face, I have merely to observe, en passant, that it differs only from the first edition, so far as regards the introduction of new poems, and the omission of others written under earlier impressions, which must ever appear frivolous when placed in juxtaposition with the rationality of maturer judgment.
