*** Original and Unabridged Content. Made available by GOLDEN CLASSIC PRESS***

Synopsis:
Poe was constantly reprinting and revising his poems, there is in most cases no difficulty about deciding upon the text which must be accepted as final. It has been observed that, except in one case, Poe never returned to an earlier reading, and we must therefore obviously accept, for such poems as occur therein, the latest edition published during his life time that of 1845. Of this volume, moreover, Messrs. Edmund Clarence Stedman and George Edward Woodberry, editors of the Works of Edgar Allen Poe in ten volumes, were fortunate enough to find a copy, recently bequeathed by James Lorimer Graham, Esq., to the Century A ssociation, which is enriched by marginal notes in Poe shandwriting for the purpose of being incorporated in later editions
