Excerpt from Prose Writings of Wordsworth; Selected and Edited: With an Introduction, by William Knight, LL. D
Many of the extracts in this little book are from letters written by Wordsworth, who - notwithstanding his dislike to the labour of correspondence - was a voluminous letter-writer, especially if the work of transcription could be done for him by his sister or his wife. Most of them, however, are taken from the Prefaces, Appendices, and Notes to the successive editions of his own Poems, and from his longer prose Essays, especially his "Description of the Scenery of the Lakes in the North of England." For the selection, the arrangement, and the title given to each extract, the editor is exclusively responsible.
