On the other hand the 1772 volume of _The Lady's Magazine_ contains certain pieces of verse which may without hesitation be assigned to him, and which are accordingly reprinted in the present edition. These are, in the September number, _Solitude_ and _A Song_, which bear as a signature the quasi-anagram 'G. EBBARE'; in the October number, the lines _To Emma_, with the quasi-anagram 'G. EBBAAC' and the date 'Suffolk'; and, in the November number, _Despair_, _Cupid_, and a _Song_, signed with the earlier form 'G. EBBARE.' This _Song_ is followed by some lines in blank verse _On the Wonders of Creation_, and, further on, by some stanzas _To Friendship_, likewise signed 'C. C.'; but manifestly neither blank verse nor stanzas are by Crabbe. Finally, it should be noted that in the October number in the same volume the following occurs among the notices _To our Correspondents_: 'The birth of a Maccaroni, by Ebbare, in the style of the Scriptures, seems to be taking too great a liberty with things sacred; and it is our maxim, as far as possible, to abstain from every appearance of evil.' The _Lady's Magazine_ continued to be published by Robinson and Roberts for many subsequent years; and it is a curious coincidence that No. 5 of Vol. XLVII (for May, 1816) contains some stanzas entitled _Myra's Wedding-Day_. The remaining _Juvenilia_ printed in the present edition are partly reproduced from the _Fragments of Verse, from Mr Crabbe's early Note-Books_ in Vol. II of the 1834 edition, partly from the Life in Vol. I of the same. The lines On the Death of William Springall Levett are quoted in the latter from Green's _History of Framlingham_, which has been compared. Of the poems which follow in the present volume, _Inebriety_ is here printed from a copy of the quarto of 1775, which lacks a title-page and which bears on p. 1 the following deprecation in Crabbe's handwriting: 'NB.--pray let not this be seen at [cipher] there is very little of it that I'm not heartily asham'd of.' The imprint of the title-page here given is taken from the _Life_ (1834, p. 28). _Midnight, a Poem_, is now first printed from the original manuscript which formed part of Dawson Turner's collection, in which it was numbered 121 at the sale of Dawson Turner's manuscripts in June, 1859. Its handwriting, as Professor Dowden points out, is identical with that of a _facsimile_ in a passage from the _Two Epistles_ mentioned above, given in the _Literary Anecdotes of the Nineteenth Century_. _The Candidate_ is printed from the edition of 1834 (Vol. II, Appendix). This poem is not included in the edition of 1823, and after a long quest it has proved impossible to obtain a copy of the original edition of 1780 (published in quarto by H. Payne, opposite Marlborough House, Pall Mall). This edition is not in the British Museum. It was only possible to compare the forty-six lines of the poem quoted in _The Monthly Review_ for September, 1780; but no variants have been found in these.
