Présentation de l'éditeur :
I ntroduced, by the editor of this volume, into the text of the Ode to Evening, and the Ode to a Lady on the Death of Col. Ross, it may be necessary here to explain his authority for so doing. The Ode to Evening first appeared in the little volume of Collinses Odes, publbhed by Millar in December, 1746. The Ode on the death of Col. Boss (first printed in Dodsleys Museum, in June of that year), was also inserted in the volume referred to. Collins never republished his Odes in an independent form; but these two poems, with considerable variations, were subsequently inserted in the second edition of Dodsleys Collection, published in 1748. Such variations could not have been introduced by Dodsley without authority; or without calling forth a protest from the author. It has, moreover, been remarked by a recent writer, that the Ode to Evening was reprinted in Collinss lifetime by his intimate friend, Thomas Warton, in the Union, and that all the variations alluded to were there adopted. It is, therefore, impossible tc doubt the authority of Dodsley; although all editors of Collins, as pointed out by the writer alluded to, have hitherto printed from a text arbitrarily com A thens Bum, January 51856.
