The pedestrians bought a boat at Basle, and in it floated down the Rhine as far as Cologne, intending to proceed in the same way to Ostend; but they returned to England from Cologne by Calais. In the course of this tour, Wordsworth wrote a letter to his sister, dated "Sept. 6, 1790, Keswill, a small village on the Lake of Constance," which will be found amongst his letters in a subsequent volume.--Ed. * * * * * APPENDIX III The following two variants in 'Descriptive Sketches' are from MS. notes written in the late Lord Coleridge's copy of the edition of 1836-7. l. 247. Yet the world's business hither finds its way At times, and unsought tales beguile the day, And tender thoughts are those which Solitude l. 249. Yet tender thoughts dwell there.

Bürger's Pastor's Daughter murdered her natural child, but it is her ghost which haunts its grave, which she had torn With bleeding nails beside the pond, And nightly pines the pool beside. * * * * * APPENDIX VI 'Simon Lee' It was found impossible fully to describe, within the limits of a footnote, the endless shiftings to and fro of the stanzas and half stanzas of 'Simon Lee'. The first eight stanzas of the edition of 1798 are therefore reprinted in this Appendix; and a Table is added, by means of which the various transpositions effected from time to time may be readily ascertained. In the Table 'a' stands for lines 1-4, and 'b' for lines 5-8 of a stanza.
