Excerpt from Origin and Growth of the Languages of Southern Europe and of Their Literature: An Inaugural Address, Delivered September 2, 1830 It may be of interest to state that the paragraphs on pages 61-66 were taken from the introduction of a college lecture u p o n troubadours, and that with alterations they were again used in the arti cle, The Defense of Poetry, in the Nor: American Re view of January, 1832 an article which was included in the first edition of Outre Mer but omitted in the final revis ion of his prose writings. The paragraphs on pages go 95 may be regarded as the foundation of the chapter on Ancient Spanish Ballads in Outre Mer. The student of Longfellow's text will observe the changes made in the Bal lad of the Five Farthings, and in view of the poet's subsequent study of Dante will be interested in his early rendering of the opening lines of the third canto of the In ferno found on page 103.
