vPREFACE

I desire to express my indebtedness to the following editions ofMarvell’s Works:—

(1) The Works of Andrew Marvell, Esq., Poetical, Controversial, andPolitical: containing many Original Letters, Poems, and Tractsnever before printed, with a New Life. By Captain EdwardThompson. In three volumes. London, 1776.

(2) The Complete Works in Verse and Prose of Andrew Marvell, M.P.Edited with Memorial-Introduction and Notes by the Rev. AlexanderB. Grosart. In four volumes. 1872.

(In the Fuller Worthies Library.)

(3) Poems and Satires of Andrew Marvell, sometime Member ofParliament for Hull. Edited by G. A. Aitken. Two volumes.Lawrence and Bullen, 1892.

Mr. C. H. Firth’s Life of Marvell in the thirty-sixth volume of TheDictionary of National Biography has, I am sure, preserved me fromsome, and possibly from many, blunders.
