_Note_ (3).--THE ANNOTATED COPIES OF THE FOURTH EDITION OF 1811.

Two annotated copies of the genuine Fourth Edition of _English Bards, etc._ [1811], with MS. corrections in Byron's handwriting, are extant--one in Mr. Murray's possession, and a second in the Forster Library at the South Kensington Museum. The former, which contains the marginal comments marked "B. 1816," has been a.s.sumed to have been prepared as a press copy for the Fifth Edition; but, as the following collation reveals, the latter, which belonged to Leigh Hunt, represents a fuller and later, though not a final revision. The half-t.i.tle bears the inscription, "Byron, Dec. 31^st^, 1811. N--d. A^y [_i.e._ Newstead Abbey] B.

"_Dum relego--scripsisse pudet--quia plurima cerno-- Me quoque--qui feci--judice digna lini_--B. J^y 20, 1812."

and the verso the words, "Given me by the author on my birthday, Oct.

19, 1815. Leigh Hunt."

u P. 5. ingen(-i-)ous. [The misprint is a note of a genuine copy.]

Lines 173, 174.

(-Low may they sink to merited contempt-) (-And scorn remunerate the mean attempt.-)

Still for stern Mammon may they toil in vain, And sadly gaze on Gold they cannot gain.

[This emendation is not given in the Murray copy.]

Lines 257, 258.

So (-How-) well the subject suits his n.o.ble mind!

(-"A fellow feeling makes us wond'rous kind,"-) He brays the Laureat of the long-eared kind!

[The Murray copy, which amends line 258 as above, leaves the "How"

unerased, but the Fifth Edition prints "So."]

Lines 323-328.
