Summary
Saying he will be glad to join the Wordsworth Club if it should be established; saying it would "not be an easy task to determine the localities of his poems;" suggesting that a new edition present the poems in the chronological order of their composition, not according to subject; mentioning essays by Arnold on Wordsworth, as well as an essay he is writing "...on the 'Wisdom & Truth' of his Poetry. To extend its influence is to do a serious moral good to the youth of England."
