R651021A. Selection (1865).

Notes and Queries, 21 October 1865, p. 344.

Listed in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 32, 391.

As we learn from a brief Preface to this beautiful selection of Mr. Browning’s Poems, it owes its origin to a wish on the part of Messrs. Chapman & Hall, “that a little gathering from the lightest of them should be tied together after the pretty device of his old publishers Messrs. Moxon. This is good for all parties; but more especially for the admirers of Mr. Browning, whose numbers will probably be largely increased by means of this handsome little volume falling into the hands of many readers, to whom Mr. Browning is at present known more by his fame than by that which earned it.
