From the preface by the author: "These trifles are collected and republished chiefly with a view to their redemption from the many improvements to which they have been subjected while going at random "the rounds of the press." I am naturally anxious that what I have written should circulate as I wrote it, if it circulate at all." // Edgar Allen Poe, poems, memoir, Poe.
