Summary
Sending his essays "Wisdom and Truth of Wordsworth's Poetry," "Genius and Passion of Wordsworth," and the "Recollections of Wordsworth," all having been bound together, and asking for its eventual return; suggesting that Knight's publisher of his new edition of Wordsworth's works "...might think that the republication of those three papers collectively in the form of a small Vol. might be of some small use in the way of attracting attention to that new Edition. I can only say that anything that promotes the knowledge of Wordsworth would be acceptable to me."
