PREFACE.
Many of the following poems have appeared,within the last two years, in different periodicalpublications, and are now, by permission, insertedin this collection.
The tragedy at the end of the volume, is foundedupon an incident well known in the history ofVenice, which has formed the material for variousworks of fiction. Niccolini has written a classicplay upon the subject, of which the author of thispiece has availed herself in part of the first scene ofthe first act, and in a few occasional passages ofscene first of the fifth act. The conduct of the plot,and the leading incidents, differ materially fromthose of Niccolini.
The author takes this opportunity to render hergrateful acknowledgments to the distinguished lady,Miss Phillips, who sustained the part of the heroine;and to whose talents and exertions the play was indebtedfor its success in representation.
