PREFACE. IN publishing this new edition of my works, I have remoulded much of the poetry and carefully revised all. I have introduced several original Poems. In "ITALY," now reprinted for the fourth time, I have added many stanzas, chiefly on Venice, and the neighbourhood of Naples. Those notes only are retained which are necessary for the illustration of the text. The whole Poem was retouched and revised, during a final visit to the South, in the year 1850. |
