Summary
Mentioning a short monograph on Wordsworth written by "Miss Wordsworth, head of Somerville Hall," calling it "amateurish" with a "slip-shod style"; writing that the monograph "has been sent me for Review--but how can I say the truth, about a Lady & a Wordworth"; asking if Knight knows anything about Biggs, the Bristol printer who printed "Lyrical Ballads & other early things."
