DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Poems of Anne Countess of Winchilsea This edition of the Poems of Anne, Countess of Winchilsea, is based on a small volume of verse published by her in 1713, on two unpublished manuscripts, and on poems scattered through various Miscellanies. These sources are more fully described in the Introduction, and the Table of Contents indicates in which of them each poem is found. In preparing the present text for publication the volume of 1718 has been considered authoritative for the poems it includes, but there has been incorporated into the text the list of Errata published in that volume. For poems occurring in both manuscripts the folio has been accepted as the best authority, inasmuch as it is later than the octavo and was apparently revised by the author or under her supervision.
