Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Select Poems of Robert Browning
The publishers have desired that this book should be included in the series Of English Classics edited by me, and that my name should be put first on the title-page; but I may say here in the preface that the better part - in every sense - Of the work has been done by Miss Hersey, who knows tenfold more about Browning than I do. She originated the plan, selected the poems, prepared the Introduction, and wrote more than half Of the notes. I have carefully collated the earlier and later texts Of the poems (see especially the various readings of T lze Lost Lead er, Coila'e Roland, and Ftp/5a Passes, none of which appear in their later form in the American editions), and have revised and filled out the Notes.
