'The Seraphim': a poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning; 1838 or earlier. Autograph fair copy, with revisions, of ll. 110-213 as found in the first edition, written on both sides of two quarto leaves of white wove paper. No watermark. The leaves have been paginated 5-8 in the author's hand. The text found in the MS. differs in several places from that first published in The Seraphim and Other Poems, 1838, pp. 10-16. A fair copy of ll. 513-549, written on both sides of a leaf of paper identical to that found in the present MS., and paginated 23-24, is in the Armstrong Browning Library, Baylor University. It is highly probable that the two items once formed part of the same MS. The present MS. is accompanied by a letter (ff. 113-114) first published in The Contemporary Review for Jan. 1874, pp. 295, 296, from Elizabeth to R. H. Horne, late 1843 or early 1844, expressing, among other matters, her dissatisfaction with the poem. Ashley Library Catalogue, i, pp. 93-94.
