Excerpt from Representative Sonnets by American Poets: With an Essay on the Sonnet, Its Nature and History, Including Many Notable Sonnets of Other Literatures, Also Biographical Notes, Indexes, Etc The design of this work is to group as many of the best sonnets in American literature as can be included in a volume of convenient size, and to make the selection as widely representative as possible while giving to the most eminent sonnet-writers a proper prominence by more numerous examples of their work. The editor has endeavored to apply to every sonnet the test of merit: first, for genuine poetic thought; second, for melodious expression and a reasonable regard for the accepted forms. Sonnets of merit in imagination and structure have been rejected in some cases because they contained some repellent idea or discordant note. Again, it has seemed well to allow some subjects to be represented by several sonnets in order to secure the best work of each author, regardless of subject, as well as to give the additional interest of comparing the various views of the same theme. Generally it has been intended to place the finest of an author's sonnets at the head, but occasionally it has been put at the close or else-where, when the exceptional arrangement enhanced the general effect.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
