THE WORKS OF LORD BYRON; IN VERSE AND PROSE. INCLUDING HIS LETTERS, JOURNALS, ETC. WITH A SKETCH OF HIS LIFE HARTFORD: PUBLISHED BY SILAS ANDRUS & SON. 1853. The Works of Lord Byron to be found in this edition, comprising the whole of his Poems, Letters, Journals, Etc. have been collected and arranged, and a Memoir added, by FITZ GREEN HALLECK, ESQ. The Poetical Works of Lord Byron have been published in a variety of forms but at no time, or in any country, has a uniform edition of his Prose and Poetical Works been attempted before the present. The edition now publishing in London, by Murray, contains so much of Byron's Prose writing as is included in the Life by Moore.-In the American edition there is a great number of the Letters of Byron nɔt in the English copy, including Letters to his mother. There is also in this edition a large collection of Poems not in any previous American one; many blanks are filled up, and explanatory notes added, which will be found of essential service to the reader. The present, therefore, is emphatically the first complete edition of the Poetical and Prose Works of Lord Byron. The Head of Byron, engraved for this edition, is from a painting by an American artist, and was considered by Byron and his friends as the best ever taken.
