¶With a bibliographical note by Marcel Kessel. Contains 'To Mary', which, except for a limited facsimile of 'Fugitive Pieces', supervised in 1886 by H. Buxton Forman, has never been reprinted. The objections to this poem by the Reverend J.T. Becher, who considered the poem too voluptuous, led Byron immediately to suppress the edition, burning almost every copy himself. There are only three known complete copies of the first (suppressed) edition.
