Byron, George Gordon. Complete poetical works; ed. by Paul Elmer More. $3. Houghton.
For this Cambridge edition of Lord Byron’s poems, the editor has chosen the text of 1832-33 in preference to that of 1831 because of its more satisfactory use of capitals, italics and punctuation marks. It is unexpurgated and contains the recently resurrected poems of Byron.
