. A selection from the works of Lord Byron. r, do you laugh now he is dead? PREFACE. XXIX things, and now he has attained this also, to be atrest. Of the workman and his work there is here no spaceto say more; and of the present book of selections notmuch need be said. It bears on the face of it themarks of imperfection and inadequacy; for these thevery circumstances and conditions of its existencemust be in some part answerable. Adequate andcomplete such a book cannot be : it must have fallenyet further short of its proper aim, but for the courtesyof those with whom it rested to determine whetherthe attempt should be made at all. Thanks are there-fore due to the publisher and proprietor of Byronspoems, if there should be anything here worth thanks,from the reader; from the editor and publisher of thisbook, they are due in any case. Much that shouldbe found here will be missed, and by .none more thanby me; but nothing at least will be found unworthyto share or unfit to secure the fame of Byron. A. C. : CONTENTS.
