The passage of Hebrew criticism pp. 195-197, was furnished by Dr. Anthon, and is printed verbatim from a letter of Anthon to Poe in the Griswold papers, still unpublished. Poe used it repeatedly.

MARGINALIA

The fragments, excerpts, and annotations, gathered by Poe under this or similar titles, were published in the “American Museum,” Jan., Feb., 1839; “Democratic Review,” Nov., Dec., 1844, April, 1846; “Godey's Lady's Book,” Aug., Sept., 1845; “Graham's Magazine,” March, Nov., Dec., 1846, Jan.-March, 1848; “Southern Literary Messenger,” April, 1846 ; April-July, 1849. In several instances the paragraphs were republications, [page 355:] sometimes revised, of matter previously used in early reviews. To these Griswold added, under the same title, short reviews and fragments of reviews selected by himself, apparently, from Poe's minor writings in the magazines with which he had been editorially connected. The passages thus gathered, and their sources, are as follows: —

The passage entitled “Byron” has not been found in its original issue. [[Byron, C. M. Dec. 1844.]]

The Editors have omitted from the “Marginalia,” first, all passages printed elsewhere in the critical writings; secondly, all passages from “Pinakidia “ (see NOTE II. Vol. IV.); thirdly, remarks on obscure authors and books, and other matter of like ephemeral nature.
