THE POETICAL WORKS OF WILLIAM WORDSWORTH, D.C.L., Poet Laureate, etc. etc. In six volumes. A New Edition. London: Edward Moxon, Dover Street. MDCCCXLIX.-MDCCCL. 12mo.[457] [431] These two editions of 1798 are the same; but as Cottle sold to Arch most of the copies printed, the majority bear the name of Arch as publisher. Four of the poems were by S.T. Coleridge, viz. _The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere_; _The Foster-Mother’s Tale_; _The Nightingale, a Conversational Poem_; and _The Dungeon_.--ED. [432] The first volume of this edition is a reprint of the editions of 1798, _The Convict_ being left out. In it there is one poem by Coleridge entitled _Love_, which was not in the edition of 1798. The poems in the second volume are new. The preface to Volume 1. contains Wordsworth’s poetical theory in its original form. This preface was included in the 1802 and 1805 editions of Lyrical Ballads, and also--in an expanded form--in almost every subsequent edition of his poems.--ED. [433] This was almost a reproduction of the two volumes of 1800, with a few variations of text. The preface, however, was much enlarged. The poem _A Character in the Antithetical Manner_ was left out, also Coleridge’s poem _The Dungeon_.--ED. [434] A reprint of the edition of 1802, with slight variations of text.--ED. [435] The _Essay on Epitaphs_ inserted in the notes to this volume was originally published in _The Friend_, February 22, 1810.--ED. [436] This was the first edition of Wordsworth’s Poems arranged by him under distinctive headings, viz. “Poems referring to the Period of Childhood,” “Juvenile Pieces,” “Poems founded on the Affections,” “Poems of the Fancy,” “Poems of the Imagination,” “Poems proceeding from Sentiment and Reflection,” “Miscellaneous Sonnets,” “Sonnets, etc., dedicated to Liberty,” “Poems on the Naming of Places,” “Inscriptions,” “Poems referring to the Period of Old Age,” “Epitaphs and Elegiac Poems,” “Ode, Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Childhood.” In it, he gave _dates_ to his poems. In Volume I. is an engraving by Mr. Bromley from a picture by Sir George Beaumont; Volume II. has an engraving by Mr. Reynolds from Sir George’s picture of Peele Castle in a storm.--ED. [437] The poem _The Force of Prayer; or, the Founding of Bolton Priory_ follows the _White Doe of Rylstone_; and the volume contains an engraving by Mr. Bromley from a painting of Bolton Abbey by Sir George Beaumont.--ED. [438] The “Friend” was Mr. James Gray, Edinburgh.--ED. [439] The volume contains an engraving by Mr. Bromley from a painting by Sir George Beaumont. In addition to _Peter Bell_, this volume contained four sonnets.--ED. [440] This volume was dedicated to Charles Lamb.--ED.
