Excerpt from The Complete Poems of Robert Herrick, Vol. 1 of 3: Edited, With Memorial Introduction and Notes

In 1859 we have the following: The Poetical Works of Robert Herrick, containing his Hesperides and Noble Numbers. With a Biographical Memoir by E. Walford, m.a., Late Scholar of Baliol Coll., Oxford. London: Reeves and Turner, 238 Strand. 1859. (post pp. Xi. And and finally in 1869, this Hesperides the Poems and other Remains of Robert Herrick now First Collected. Edited by W. Carew Hazlitt. London: John Russell Smith, Soho Square, 1869. (2 vols., cr. Vol. I. Pp. Xxx. And 1 - 255 Vol. II., pp. 256 526: copies also on large paper). Mr. Hazlitt disavows responsibility for the text, which is virtually that of Pickering's of 1846 but in the Biographical Notice he has intercalated some additions and corrections within brackets, and in Appendices added Poems from mss., etc. Of these and the different editions enumerated more will be found in the memorial-introduction (ii. Critical).

For all these Eight editions the admirer of Herrick is grateful. N one is without its own merits. Therefore none ought to be undervalued.
