Notes. This splendid Library Edition is an adequate monument of the great Poet's genius. There is probably no other man who could have so exhaustively edited the Poems as Professor Knight has done. The special features of this Edition are as follow: The Poems are arranged in chronological order of composition; all the changes of text, in the successive Editions of the Poems, are given in footnotes, with the exact dates of these changes; several new readings, or suggested changes of text, which exist in MS., and were written by the Poet on the margins of a copy of

the Edition of 1836-37, kept at Rydal Mount and now in the possession of Lord Coleridge, are added; all the Fenwick Notes (dictated by Wordsworth to Miss Fenwick) to the Poems, giving the Poet's account of the circumstances under which his Poems were composed, are printed as Prefatory Notes to the Poems explained; Topographical Notes to the Poems, containing allusions to localities in the English Lake District and elsewhere, are given; several Poems and Fragments, hitherto unpublished, are printed; a Bibliography of the Poems, and the successive Editions published in England and America, from 1793 to 1850, is added; [a Bibliography of Critical Articles on the Poet's Works will be given in one of the forthcoming volumes of the Life of Wordsworth, by Professor Knight, which will be published as supplementary to the present Edition of his Poetical Works]; Etchings of localities associated with the Poet are given as frontispieces to Vols. I., II., III., IV., V., VI., and VII. The text adopted for this Edition is Wordsworth's final text of 1849-50. In addition to the ordinary Demy 8vo Edition there was printed a Large Paper Edition (of 140 copies) with proofs of the Etchings on China Paper and Holland Paper, size, Imperial 8vo; and a Largest Paper Edition (of 25 copies) on the finest Laid Paper, with the Etchings (threefold) on China, India, and Dutch Paper, size, Super-imperial 8vo.
