before. Bell prints from Burney MS 392, acquired by the British
Museum in 1818 and duly indexed, but overlooked by previous enquirers.
It is a small octavo of 133 pages, prepared for the press by the poet's
brother and executor, Philip Traherne, or Traheron, probably soon after
Thomas's death (1674). The first 22 poems in Dobell's folio (Poems, ed.
Dobell, pp. 1-75) re-appear in the Burney MS, though not always in the
same order and with interesting variations and corrections of metrical
defects and bad rimes; these alterations may, in some cases, be ascribed
to Philip, who had poetical pretensions.
