Excerpt from The Complete Works of John Keats, Vol. 3 of 5: Posthumous Poems 1812-1820, Essays and Notes The chronology of the poems published in this third volume is continuous with that of those forming the latter part of the second volume. As nearly as can be ascertained, that volume brings the Posthumous and Fugitive Poems down to the end of the year 1818, and all those here following belong to the years 1819 and 1820. The bulk of these was first given in the 'life, Letters and Literary Remains of John Keats, ' edited by Richard Monckton Milnes (lord Houghton), and published in 1848. Of that important source a full account is given at pages 161 to 164 in the second volume of this edition. The reader should also consult the Preface to Volume II for information concerning George Keats's book of holographs and transcripts in the British Museum and Richard Woodhouse's Common-place book of transcripts, frequently cited in the notes to the Posthumous and Fugitive Poems now reprinted. He is likewise referred again to pages x11-xiv in the Preface to Volume I for details as to these and other sources of the text and variorum readings; and what further details are necessary will be found in the notes to the several poems. The miscellaneous prose writings of Keats, consisting in the main of a few critiques (chiefly dramatic) and some marginalia, are appended to this volume for the sake of keeping together all his writings except his letters, and making a distinct collection of the letters themselves, - to form the fourth and fifth volumes. The Notes on Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy have not, as far as I am aware, been published before and I am greatly obliged to Sir Charles Dilke for placing the book containing them at my disposal. Keats's marginalia are always interesting in a high degree; and this book is moreover of considerable illustrative importance. The facility with which Keats entered into the spirit of the thing in the few known instances in which he undertook to assist Hunt in one of his periodicals, or to oblige John Hamilton Reynolds by acting as his substitute as dramatic critic for 'the Champion, ' is a point of considerable interest; and some of the 'champion' papers contain admirable bits of histrionic criticism.
