Page:The Poetical Works of Samuel Rogers (1892, revised Aldine edition).djvu/13



HIS edition of the Poems of Samuel Rogers has been reprinted by permission, from the one last published, which gives the latest alterations or additions made by the author. An occasional variation amongst the many given by earlier editions has been noted at the foot. For the materials of the Memoir the writer is very greatly indebted to the biographical notice by Mr. Samuel Sharpe (the nephew of the poet) which is prefixed to the last edition: the "Recollections, by Samuel Rogers" (edited by Mr. Wm. Sharpe), and the "Recollections of the Table Talk of Samuel Rogers" [edited by the Rev. A. Dyce], have also been largely consulted. A few errors in names or dates have been corrected for the present reissue of the Aldine edition.
