What life could stand this scrutiny, this light as fierce as ever beat on a throne, this merciless examination into even its slightest details with the minuteness of the work of a scalpel? By the editors of his writings, in their determination to give some thing new to the world, their thirst for hitherto unpublished pieces, every scrap which came from the poet's pen, and mach, it is to be feared, that never came from his pen at all, has been made to take its place in his works, among the very writings on which modern critics have to base their estimate of his poetic merit. Every edition that claims to be complete is disfigured by more or less of these sweep ings of the study, these scraps which were never seriously intended, even when authentic, for publication, and the result is that being, as it were, in evidence we have to weigh trivialities of that sort along with such masterpieces g: hto, Mary in Heaven or The Cottar's Saturday i t.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
