AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This column is an apology for and in defence of 'some alterations ... made in ... [Charles Harpur's] poetical lines on Robert Emmitt ...' The author of the column details the changes made and defends them by stating, 'We did it, not from a wish to injure the Parnassian fame of Mr. H., but the contrary ...'

An 'angry' letter sent to the Morning Chronicle newspaper by Charles Harpur disclaiming the alterations is extensively quoted.

The altered version of the poem, published in the Morning Chronicle 11 May 1844, is republished with Charles Harpur's corrected version in the Morning Chronicle 25 May 1844. The altered and corrected versions are separately indexed.
