Posthumous Poems

Ruth S. Granniss makes the following statement about the circumstances of the publication: "It was with difficulty that a publisher was found for the book, the sale of two hundred and fifty copies being guaranteed by Thomas Lovell Beddoes, Bryan Waller Proctor ("Barry Cornwall") and Thomas Forbes Felsall [sic?]. The original intention to include certain prose pieces was abandoned on account of the size of the volume."^[1]
