[493] “This edition contains some pieces omitted—inadvertently it is believed—from the latest London edition.” Additional poems have been introduced, and the arrangement changed since the 1839 edition.
C. M. St. John.
[494] This edition contains a remarkable “Sketch of Wordsworth’s Life,” by James Russell Lowell, which was afterwards embodied, with additions, in Among my Books. Mr. Ellis Yarnall believed that this edition was an English reprint. I doubt this from the fact that it is “Entered according to the Act of Congress in 1854,” and was “Printed at Cambridge by H.O. Houghton.”
C. M. St. John.
[495] This edition is mentioned in some lists, but I am inclined to doubt if it can be authenticated.
C. M. St. John.
[496] The size is given as 32mo. I have not seen the book.
C. M. St. John.
[497] Edited by Waldron J. Cheney, though not credited to him. C. M. St. John.
[498] No date is given to this edition. The firm-name and place of business according to the Boston Directory would limit the date of the title page at least to 1863-65. It is in the New Haven Library. Allibone notes a volume of “Selections,” Boston, 12mo, 1863, which may be this.
