COLERIDGE put forth his utmost strength on a critical examination of them, oblivious that he had himself impelled, not to say compelled, his friend to write these Prefaces, as WORDSWORTH signifies.

It is not meant by this that COLERIDGE was thereby shut out from criticising the definitions and statements to which he objected.
IV.

DESCRIPTIVE.
(_a_) A Guide through the District of the Lakes, 1835.
(_b_) Kendal and Windermere Railway: two Letters, &c.
These very much explain themselves; but of the former it may be of bibliographical interest to state that it formed originally the letterpress and Introduction to 'Select Views in Cumberland, Westmoreland, and Lancashire,' by the Rev.JOSEPH WILKINSON, Rector of East Wrotham, Norfolk, 1810 (folio).

It was reprinted in the volume of Sonnets on the River Duddon.

The fifth edition (1835) has been selected as the Author's own final text.
