Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Verses Written During Forty Years
These Verses, it will be seen, range over more than forty years. A few copies of those collected under the title of Memorials of Oxford were printed in 1844, Almost all the rest have been written at various times since that year. I have dated them wherever I have had the means of being sure. They are printed for those few only, of whom I may dare to think that they will care to have them, not for their own sake, but for the writer's. Amongst them will be found some lines by my father and brother, a hymn by my wife, and a poem by Lord Selbome, whose permission to print it is a small instance of a great friendship, which I count among the many.
