Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Poems, Vol. 1 of 3
Review for September, 1780; but no variants have been found in these.
The subsequent poems contained in the present volume are all printed from the edition of 182 3, the last edition published in England in the poet's lifetime. The Variants enumerated at the close of this volume are in each case the readings of the first editions of the several poems, viz., The Library, 1781, The Village, 1783, The Newspaper, 178 5, The Parish Register Ede, 1807, and The Borough, 1810. The address To the Reader prefixed to The Newspaper, which does not appear in the edition of 182 3, has been restored from that of 1785, as it appears in the younger Crabbe's edition of 1834.
