EDITOR’S NOTE

Cecil Dreeme has been reproduced here from its first printing (Boston: Ticknor and Fields, 1861) and has not been modernized except in one incidental respect. Contractions have been closed up (e.g., is n’t becomes isn’t, he ’s becomes he’s, did n’t becomes didn’t, I ’ve becomes I’ve, should n’t becomes shouldn’t). A few minor typographical errors have also been silently corrected.

The notes to the text at the back of the book, keyed to page numbers, identify quotations and many literary allusions; provide classical, biblical, biographical, and other historical references; translate non-English words and phrases; and provide other kinds of supplementary information.
