Introduction
This fair copy manuscript was printer's copy for the first publication of the poem in volume II of WMR's 1886 first Collected Edition of DGR's works. In 1905 it was published again, with a facsimile of the manuscript and an editorial introduction by William P. Trent, by the Bibliophile Society for the then owner of the manuscript, the collector W. K. Bixby. When Bixby's library was later sold off it passed to the Huntington Library, where it now resides.
