The Prose Works of William Wordsworth

PREFACE
32/1026

She is a noble creature, all tenderness and strength.

When I first became acquainted with her, I saw at once that her heart was of the very finest, richest quality, and her wisdom and insight are, as ever must be in such a case, exactly correspondent' (ibid.p.

397).

Such words from one so penetrative, so indeceivable, so great in the fullest sense as was the daughter of _the_ COLERIDGE, makes every one long to have the same service done for Miss FENWICK as has been done for SARA COLERIDGE and Miss HARE, and within these weeks for Mrs.FLETCHER.Her Diaries and Correspondence would be inestimable to lovers of WORDSWORTH; for few or none got so near to him or entered so magnetically into his thinking.
The headings and numberings of the successive Notes--lesser and larger--will guide to the respective Poems and places.

The numberings accord with ROSSETTI'S handy one-volume edition of the Poems, but as a rule will offer no difficulty in any.
