have　been　written　by　Poe　in　the　album　of　a　Baltimore　lady　（Mrs。
Balderstone？）；　on　March　17th；　1829；　and　the　fac…simile　given　in
〃Scribner's〃s　alleged　to　be　of　his　handwriting。　If　the　caligraphy　be
Poe's；　it　is　different　in　all　essential　respects　from　all　the　many
specimens　known　to　us；　and　strongly　resembles　that　of　the　writer　of　the
heading　and　dating　of　the　manuscript；　both　of　which　the　contributor　of　the
poem　acknowledges　to　have　been　recently　added。　The　lines；　however；　if　not
by　Poe；　are　the　most　successful　imitation　of　his　early　mannerisms　yet　made
public；　and；　in　the　opinion　of　one　well　qualified　to　speak；　〃are　not
unworthy　on　the　whole　of　the　parentage　claimed　for　them。〃

While　Edgar　Poe　was　editor　of　the　〃Broadway　journal；〃　some　lines　〃To
Isadore〃　appeared　therein；　and；　like　several　of　his　known　pieces；　bore　no
signature。　They　were　at　once　ascribed　to　Poe；　and　in　order　to　satisfy
questioners；　an　editorial　paragraph　subsequently　appeared　saying　they　were
by　〃A。　Ide；　junior。〃　Two　previous　poems　had　appeared　in　the　〃Broadway
journal〃　over　the　signature　of　〃A。　M。　Ide；〃　and　whoever　wrote　them　was
also　the　author　of　the　lines　〃To　Isadore。〃　In　order；　doubtless；　to　give　a
show　of　variety；　Poe　was　then　publishing　some　of　his　known　works　in　his
journal　over　_noms　de　plume；　_and　as　no　other　writings　whatever　can　be
traced　to　any　person　bearing　the　name　of　〃A。　M。　Ide；〃　it　is　not　impossible
that　the　poems　now　republished　in　this　collection　may　be　by　the　author　of
〃The　Raven。〃　Having　been　published　without　his　usual　elaborate　revision；
Poe　may　have　wished　to　_hide　_his　hasty　work　under　an　assumed　name。　The
three　pieces　are　included　in　the　present　collection；　so　the　reader　can
judge　for　himself　what　pretensions　they　possess　to　be　by　the　author　of
〃The　Raven。〃
