"The first attempt at a complete collection of Mr. Whittier's poetical writings was made in 1857. During the next thirty years additional small volumes were issued from time to time, and in 1888 the author supervised the preparation of a collective edition of his works, both poetry and prose, including everything written previous to that time, which he wished to preserve. During the remaining years of his life he continued to send out poems occasionally, and after his death, in 1892, these were gathered under the title, "At Sundown." The present household edition contains all the poems that were preserved in the Riverside Edition of 1888, together with the pieces included in "At Sundown," and a few that were collected still later and first used by Mr. S.T. Pickard in the authorized "Life and Letters of John Greenleaf Whittier." - Publisher's note.
