EDN.

FIRST EDN.

Lond. 1825

*A remarkably interesting copy, being evidently Leigh Hunt's own, and corrected by him. Numerous manuscript corrections occur; in fact, very few pages are without one or more, and, although the author's signature does not occur anywhere, the matter of the corrections is such that they must undoubtedly have been made by Leigh Hunt himself. The corrections are of various natures. Some are the correct rendering of a word that the compositor had evidently misread; others are changes in spelling, punctuation marks, or a new choice of a word or expression. They occur not only throughout the poem but also the Notes.
