It was my intention to leave the criticism of the work entirely to the good judg ment of the reader, without further explanations; but, being a novice in the business of writing and publishing, and after reading the prefaces of something less than a hundred books to see what the authors had to say, I came to the conclusion that it was really necessary for me to write an excuse too; much the more so, after reading a criticism on poets and poetry in one of the morning papers, which will appear further on, being in turn criticised in my excuse, preface, introductory, or whatever the reader may be pleased to call it.
