This volume contains all Lord Byron's Poems of which the copyright is free, with the oxception of Don Juan, from which extraordinary work, as it is their wish that their books should be welcomed in every family circle, they have only presented carefully-selected beautiful passages, with which English readers are so well acquaiatod, that they would naturally look for them.
