Charles H. Ross, of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute;
and my colleagues in the School of English in the University of Texas,
Mr. L. R. Hamberlin and Professor Leslie Waggener.
Chief-justice Logan E. Bleckley, of Georgia, a man of letters
as well as of law, very kindly put at my use his correspondence with the poet,
the original draft of `Corn', and his criticisms upon the same.
My chief indebtedness, however, is to Mrs. Sidney Lanier,
who has been most generous with her time and her husband's papers.
