Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Songs and Poems From 1819 to 1879
William with the Ring; this he did from an opera he had written for Mendelssohn - which he never, after all, composed. He tells in his Recollections the history of this, to him, bitter disappointment. The lyrical portion of Babil and Bijou, a fairy spectacle by Dion Boucicault, he wrote the year before. One song, which was not sung, I have added to this collection.
If the book is only bought by those who loved the author and appreciated his talents, both mine and the publishers' aim will be fully realised.
