THE COMPLETE POETICAL WORKS OF OLIVER GOLDSMITH
THE COMPLETE POETICAL WORKS OF OLIVER GOLDSMITH OLIVER GOLDSMITH 'EDITED WITH INTRODUCTION AND NOTES'
BY
AUSTIN DOBSON
HON. LL.D. EDIN.
PREFATORY NOTE
THIS volume is a reprint extended and revised of the 'Selected Poems'
of Goldsmith issued by the Clarendon Press in 1887. It is 'extended'
because it now contains the whole of Goldsmith's poetry: it is 'revised'
because besides the supplementary text a good deal has been added in
the way of annotation and illustration. In other words the book has
been substantially enlarged. Of the new editorial material the bulk has
been collected at odd times during the last twenty years; but fresh
Goldsmith facts are growing rare. I hope I have acknowledged obligation
wherever it has been incurred; I trust also for the sake of those who
come after me that something of my own will be found to have been
contributed to the literature of the subject.
AUSTIN DOBSON.
