BY LORD BYRON. "Like an archangel ex led for dark crimes, His songs were then remembrances of Heaven, In which he see'd constrin'd to live. Yet even The fire of genius, and, un onscious, bow To the right halo which it cast around him."-ANON. ADVERTISEMENT INSTEAD of an excuse, the Publishers have to offer a congratula tion to the Public upon being enabled, by the lapse of copyrights, to add most of the Poetical Works of Byron to their cheap, but elegant series of our most esteemed pocts. This volume contains all Lord Byron's Poems of which the copyright is free, with the exception of Don Juan, from which extraordinary work, as it is their wish that their books should be welcomed in every family circle, they have only presented carefully-selected beautiful passages, with which English readers are so well acquainted, that they would naturally look for them. |
