Summary
Telling Knight that he has looked at the books (see MA 9087.29) and compared them to the catalogue; noting inconsistencies between the two; writing that he is "sorry to see that the Evening Walk [referring to Wordsworth's long poem of that title] has no title page & that the 1807 Edit. wants the half title. This will affect their price, I fancy."
