do not tell us to what poem the remark applies, or to whom the letter containing it was addressed.
It is important to note that the printed text in several of the editions is occasionally cancelled in the list of
errata
, at the beginning or the end of the volume: also that many copies of the early editions (notably those of 1800), were bound up without the full
errata
list. In this edition there were two such lists, one of them very brief. But the cancelled words in these
errata
lists, must be taken into account, in determining the text of each edition.
