ADVERTISEMENT. THE first four volumes of this edition of Montgomery are a reprint, page for page, of the poems collected and revised by the Author himself in 1841. The fifth volume contains the "Original Hymns," also collected and revised by the author, in 1853, excepting that portion of the volume so styled, which was taken from the Collected Poems; and we have added, in an Appendix, a few pieces, of no particular value, culled from a considerable mass of ephemeral verse, which the overzealous biographers of the Poet have thought proper to insert in their portentous "Memoirs." |
