Excerpt from The Works of Lord Byron: Letters, 1804-1813 The present Edition of Byron's prose is divided into (1) Letters; (2) Journals and Memoranda; and (3) Miscellanies - as the epistle to Roberts, the Vampire fragment, the Observations upon 'Observations, ' and the like. The Text is reprinted from Moore, from Dallas, Leigh Hunt, J. T. Hodgson, and the rest, and, incomplete as probably it is, it is practically the first reissue on novel and peculiar lines which has been attempted for close on seventy years. For the Notes. - There is a sense in which Byron is grossly over-annotated. There is also a sense in which his work cries out for annotation. In preparing my commentary, I have drawn when I could on Moore and the others; so that a certain proportion of it also is not new.
