PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION.
MOST of the pieces comprised in this volume have appeared in one of various Eton, Cambridge and London papers. The curious in such matters can ascertain exact particulars by reference to the earlier editions. In the first two editions will be found numerous verses not included in the present volume: while the greater part of this volume is not included in them. The third edition is substantially the same as this.
