Excerpt from The Poetical Works of (Richard Monckton Milnes) Lord Houghton, Vol. 1 of 2 "Poems of Many Years" was the title of the volume privately printed in 1838 and published in 1840; but the years were few in the ordinary computation of life, though many in the impressions, the desires, and the inspirations of youth. They are here reproduced with certain additions and omissions, together with the "Memorials of a Tour in Greece," the two latter published in 1834, and "Palm Leaves" in 1844, counting on the interest of those who have a local acquaintance and historic sympathy, rather than on the gratification of the general reader. I have found a certain familiarity with my writings among those who have trodden the same ground and felt the same associations, which otherwise I had no hope to attain.
