Poems of Felicity. Ed. from the MS by Bell, H. I. Oxford, 1910.
This is an important addition to Traherne's literary remains, consider-
ably more than half the poems in the volume having never been printed
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. 'News,' which is found in
Centuries of Meditations, occurs in the Burney MS. There are also
37 poems, including The Author to the Critical Peruser,' which are not
found in either of Dobell's two books. Some of the new poems, and two
introductory poems by Philip, give fresh illustration of the poet's attrac-
tive character. Bell has collected new information about the Traherne
family.
