The Prose Works of William Wordsworth

PREFACE
33/1026

The I.F.MSS.

are marked with an asterisk [*]: They are _for the first time_ furnished in their entirety, and accurately.
II.

_Letters and Extracts of Letters_.
These are arranged as nearly as possible chronologically from the 'Memoirs,' &c.

&c., with the benefit, as before, of collation in many cases of the original MSS., especially in the Sir W.R.HAMILTON letters, and a number are _for the first time printed_.

The Editor does not at all like 'Extracts,' and must be permitted to regret that what in his judgment was an antiquated and mistaken idea of biography led the excellent as learned Bishop of Lincoln to abridge and mutilate so very many--the places not always marked.
