BY POE.
Prof. James A. Harrison of the University of Virginia, editor of the Virginia edition of the works of Edgar Allan Poe, in a personal letter to a friend, announces an interesting Poe discovery. Says Prof. Harrison: “I have recently had my attention by Mr. George Parson of Washington, D. to some very interesting and valuable corrections, made by Poe himself, in the versions of ‘To To My and ‘A These variations appeared in The Flag of Our Union during 1849, but owing to the difficulty of obtaining a copy of this rare magazine, the variations have been overlooked by the various editors of Poe's text. These changes will come out for the first time since they were originally published, in my new edition of Poe, which will appear in the early Spring.” Quite extensive variations from the generally accepted text and punctuation are noted in all the three poems.

Notes:
No new edition of Poe by Harrison appeared in 1910. Harrison died in 1911. For several years, Robert Armistead Stewart assumed the role as editor of a new proposed edition, which never materialized. A new volume of the poems was issued in 1922, listing Harrison and Stewart as editors, and with the introduction by Charles W. Kent. The noted for this edition were revised to include material about the Flag of Our Union, but the scholarly apparatus of variants were not longer presented except for instances where full alternate versions of a poem were printed.
