The Prose Works of William Wordsworth / For the First Time Collected, With Additions from Unpublished Manuscripts. In Three Volumes.

by William Wordsworth

[P. 137], l. 14. 'Burnet,' in his 'History of the Reformation;' many editions.

[P. 119], ll. 4-5. Latin verse-quotation, Ovid, 'Metam.' viii. 163, 164.

[P. 151], l. 11. 'Charlotte Smith.' It seems a pity that the Poems of this genuine Singer should have gone out of sight.

[P. 155], l. 31. 'Russel.' Should be Russell. Some very beautiful Sonnets of his appear in Dyce's well-known collection, and to it doubtless Wordsworth was indebted for his knowledge of Russell. He has cruelly passed out of memory.

[P. 165], ll. 7-9. 'Is not the first stanza of Gray's,' etc. Gray himself prefixed these lines from Aeschylus, 'Agam.' 181:

He seems to have been rather indebted to Dionysius' Ode to Nemesis, v. Aratus.

[P. 182], l. 9. 'Dr. Darwin's Zoonomia;' i.e. 'The Laws of Organic Life,' 1794-96, 2 vols. 4to.

[P. 182], l. 24. 'Peter Henry Bruce ... entertaining Memoirs.' Published 1782, 4to.

[P. 185], ll. 2-3. Verse-quotation, from Milton, 'Il Penseroso,' ll. 109-110.
