The poetical works of Edgar Allan Poe, with original memoir. Illustrated by F. R. Pickersgill, R.A., John Tenniel, Birket Foster, Felix Darlay [and others]

Private reasons-some of which have reference to the sin of plagiarism,
and others to the date of Tennyson's first poems-have induced me, after
some hesitation, to republish these, the crude compositions of my earliest
boyhood. They are printed verbatim —without alteration from the original
edition-the date of which is too remote to be judiciously acknowledged.
