PREFACE.

In presenting here together, so far as they could be found, the writings of one of the most estimablé poets and men among us, the Publisher feels that he is meeting a wish, that has been for a long time, and on all sides, loudly expressed. He commenced his undertaking, partly in order that the public might be no longer withheld from their desire, and partly also with the view of anticipating a similar design from another quarter, which he learned to be already entertained, and which was not likely to be accomplished in a manner to satisfy the friends of so favorite an Author. He has carried it through, only not forbidden by the Author himself; — who, he hopes, will look with some complacency on the task, which he would do nothing to promote.
