43. WATSON, WILLIAM. _Wordsworth’s Grave._ Originally published in the _National Review_, x. 40; afterwards included in the volume, “Wordsworth’s Grave, and other Poems.” 1890. 44. MATSURA (a Japanese poet). _Moonlight on Windermere_, translated by H. D. Rawnsley in _Murray’s Magazine_, Oct. 1887. II.--_AMERICA_ BIBLIOGRAPHY of the Various Editions of WORDSWORTH’S POETICAL WORKS, which have been printed and published in the United States of America, from 1801 to 1895, arranged in Chronological Order: also a BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CRITICAL ESSAYS, and BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES, of Wordsworth’s Life and Works in Books, Reviews, and Periodicals; with Notes, by Mrs. HENRY A. ST. JOHN, Ithaca, New York. PREFATORY NOTE My ideal in attempting to prepare a _Bibliography of Wordsworth in America_ was high. I hoped to see each edition, or at least to identify the editions hinted at in the various catalogues. I determined to read every article, in criticism, or review; and to know if the many references, given by Poole and other authorities, were correct. As is usually the case, the reality has fallen far short of the ideal. But, while the results are not what were desired, there have been many fortunate discoveries. Two things were learned to begin with. First, that astonishingly little care had been taken to preserve the history of the early American Editions, or to preserve, even, the earlier American Periodicals. Most of our larger libraries are amazingly deficient in these works. Second, it was found that existing Catalogues or Lists are not only far from complete, but full of gross blunders. Roorbach (the Addenda, Supplements, etc.) was found to be a mere rehash of the old trade sales Catalogues, swarming with blunders. In the matter of dates, imprints, the particular editions, the size of books, Roorbach is utterly untrustworthy. Allibone (so far as Wordsworth is concerned) is also confusing and incomplete. I did not find much in the various Public or College Library Catalogues. I wrote to the librarians of some of the older libraries, after I had made out a preliminary list, to ascertain if they could add thereto any editions, from their cards or manuscript catalogues. From these sources I was enabled several times to solve seemingly insolvable problems.
