[451] Volumes one and two are dated 1836; the remaining four 1837. This edition was stereotyped. It was reprinted in 1840, 1841, 1842, 1843, 1846, 1849, etc.; and some of the reprints contain slight variations of text, etc. All the editions issued after 1841 include the volume, _Poems of Early and Late Years_ (see No. 37) as a seventh volume. After 1850 _The Prelude_ was added as an eighth volume. In the first volume of this edition there is a steel engraving by Mr. Watt of a portrait of the Poet by W. Pickersgill, which is in St. John’s College, Cambridge. This engraving was reproduced in the editions of 1840, 1841, and following ones.--ED. [452] This edition includes (as its “Advertisement” tells us) “twelve new Sonnets which were composed while the sheets were going through the press.”--ED. [453] Mr. Tutin writes in his Wordsworth Bibliography:--“This Pocket edition of _Yarrow Revisited_, etc., is the third separate issue of the Poem. It seems to have been intended as a supplementary volume to the four vol. edition of 1832, as the sheets of it are all imprinted ‘Vol. v.,’ but I have no direct proof that it was ever so issued.”--ED. [454] In his “Advertisement” the Author states that about one-third of the Poem _Guilt and Sorrow_ was written in 1794, and was published in the year 1798 under the title of _The Female Vagrant_.--ED. [455] This volume is dedicated “To her Most Sacred Majesty, Victoria.”--ED. [456] Frequently republished. After 1851 _The Prelude_ was included. The edition of 1869 has “nine additional poems,” dated 1846. All the editions which I have seen contain an engraving by Mr. Finden from the bust of Wordsworth by Chantrey--the original of which is at Coleorton Hall--and a picture of Rydal Mount engraved by Mr. House after Finden. Professor Dowden tells us that, in some later editions “the Pickersgill portrait, engraved by J. Skelton, replaces Chantrey’s bust.” In this edition, as in that of 1815, Wordsworth gave dates to his poems.--ED. [457] Volumes I. and II. are dated 1849, and Volumes III.-VI. 1850. _The Excursion_ formed the sixth volume. It was reprinted separately in 1851, 1853, and 1857.--ED.
