NOTICE.
The Editor owes it to the reader to say that, in preparing thefollowing poem for re-publication, he has ventured to omitsome of the stanzas and to make changes in others. The stanzaswere omitted because, in his opinion, they broke the continuityor retarded the flow of the narration, slackening the reader’sinterest, and could be omitted with advantage to the poem.The changes have been mostly slight and formal, and, whenmore extensive, have been made to modify (not the meaning,but) only the expression; making it clearer or more direct, orgiving it an easier metrical movement.
