Excerpt from Masterpieces of the Southern Poets

Although Lanier has been dead more than thirty years, and no copyright has ever existed in many of his poems, his poetical works were collated by his widow a few years ago, then published by Messrs. Charles Scribner's Sons, from which house she receives a royalty. Therefore, while this volume contains all the greater poems of Poe, as there seems to be no one to claim any royalty on the publication of his works, in which no copyright now exists, Lanier is not so well represented. But I have been sorely tempted to publish in this work by far the greater part of gentle Sidney's superb creations.
