From the book:

This edition, including my earlier and later writings, I have endeavored to render as little unworthy as possible of the indulgence of the public. Several poems I would willingly have withdrawn, if it were not almost impossible to extricate what has been once caught and involved in the machinery of the press. The alternative is a request to the generous reader that he may use the weakness of those earlier verses, which no subsequent revision has succeeded in strengthening, less as a reproach to the writer than as a means of marking some progress in her other attempts. E.B.B.

Also:

The right of publishing this book in the United States having been liberally purchased by Mr. James Miller, it is hoped that there will be no interference with the same.

Robert Browning

London, February 20, 1862
