Excerpt from The Complete Poetical Works of William Cowper The dates at which most of the poems were composed are fairly certain; nor have the new facts displayed by Mr. Wright in his Life of Cowper(1892) and Correspondence of Cowper (1904) much disturbed the traditional order. But a search through various magazines and periodicals of the time, especially The Gentleman's Magazine, has enabled me to give earlier dates than have hitherto been known for the first publication of many of the miscellaneous poems and the first published version often shows a large number of variations from later versions. I cannot hope to have traced all these early versions an exhaustive search through the files of the Northampton Mercury, General Evening Post, and other papers not easily accessible, would be necessary for this. But the copies disinterred by previous editors and by myself supply ample evidence of the constant minute alterations made by Cowper in his least important poems; and this is the main interest of the early versions and the variants they supply for the various readings are often intrinsically of equal value: the alteration has produced no improvement. Consideration of this point leads naturally to the ques tion of the text. It is 111 the constitution and presenta tion of the text that I hope to have made some advance on my predecessors. I have not, of course, attempted to chronicle all the misprints of all the early editions, or all the aberrations of Hayley and other editors; such a chronicle would serve no useful purpose and would take up an intolerable deal of space. But in the editions of the poems printed in Goer's lifetime all variants which indicate a difference of reading have been noted: where two editors - Croft and Hayley, or Johnson and Hayley - of equal or nearly equal author ity, print different versions of posthumous poems, one version has been followed throughout the poem, the variants from the other being placed in the notes: and, as already stated, readings involving verbal changes from early printed or ms. Copies are given either in the foot notes or at the end of the volume. Thus an attempt has for the first time been made to supply a sufficiently full critical apparatus 1.

Excerpt from The Poetical Works of William Cowper: With Memoir and Notes Newton treated his unhappy guest with great affection, and hailed with delight the first smile of the melancholy man. Then he proposed that Cowper should return to his own home, and the patient eagerly consented. During the whole period of his derangement Mrs. Unwin had manifested the most affectionate devotion to him. Her watchful care had preserved him from self-destruction, and day and night she had watched over him till he went to Newton's. Even then her tender care was continued for him, and on his return to her house she shared her small income with him, and did all that was possible to cheer and sustain him. Gradually he grew better; occupied himself with gardening and carpentering, and amused himself with petting animals. He had, besides his three famous hares, five rabbits, two guinea-pigs, two dogs, a magpie, a jay, and other birds.

Excerpt from The Complete Poetical Works of William Cowper, Esq.: Including the Hymns and Translations From Madame Guion, Milton, Etc., And Adam; A Sacred Drama; From the Italian of Gio. Battista Andreini This preface is not designed to commend the Poems to which it is prefixed. My testimony would be insufficient for those who are not qualified to judge properly for themselves, and unnecessary to those who are. Besides, the reasons which render it improper and unseemly for a man to celebrate his own performances, or those of his nearest relatives, will have some influence in suppressing much of what he might otherwise wish to say in favour of a friend, when that friend is indeed an mm idem, and excites almost the same emotions of sensibility and affection as he feels for himself.

Excerpt from The Poetical Works of William Cowper, Vol. 1 When in his sixth year Cowper lost his mother, who died in childbed, in 1737, an event which is presumed to have had a fatal influence on his happiness through life. The filial tenderness with which he revered her memory was manifested many years afterwards, on receiving her portrait, and in the affecting lines which he addressed to it. That poem contains also a pleasing notice of his childhood, and of his remembrance of his early home. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Poetical Works of William Cowper He sent a copy of his book, with a letter, to Colman, and another to Thurlow, who had been his fellow-clerk with Chapman, the solicitor, and with whom he had lived on terms of great intimacy. Cowper predicted to him that he would one day be Lord Chancellor, and the prediction was now fulfilled. As to Colman, he had become a patentee of one of the playhouses, and was perhaps equally possessed with an opinion of his own importance. Neither of them noticed the gift or the letter; a neglect too galling to be endured patiently even by Cowper, who revenged himself in some verses bitterly satirical, lately published, for the first time, by Mr. Southey. Both made some reparation by subsequent kindness, but not, I fear, till the celebrity of the Task had made it an honour to be known to the writer.
