Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Children's Garland From the Best Poets: Selected and Arranged
I have taken the liberty of omitting portions of a few poems, which would else have been too long or otherwise unsuitable for the collection; and, in a very few instances, I have ventured to substitute a word or a phrase, when that of the author has made the piece in which it occurs unfit for children's reading. The abbreviations I have been compelled to make in the Ancient Mariner, in order to bring that poem within the limits of this collection. Are so considerable as to require particular mention and apology.
