This formed one of WORDSWORTH'S most deliberate and powerful Appendices to his Poems (1835), and has ever since been regarded as of enduring worth. It has all the Author's characteristics of deep thinking, imaginative illustration, intense conviction and realness. Again, accept or dissent, this State Paper (so to say) is specially Wordsworthian. It seems only due to WORDSWORTH to bear in recollection that, herein and elsewhere, he led the way in indicating CO-OPERATION as _the_ remedy for the defects and conflicts in the relations between our capitalists and their operatives, or capital and labour (see the second section of the Postscript, and remember its date--1835). II. _Advice to the Young_. (_a_) Letter to the Editor of 'The Friend,' signed Mathetes. (_b_) Answer to the Letter of Mathetes, 1809. 'Mathetes' proved to be Professor JOHN WILSON, 'eminent in the various departments of poetry, philosophy, and criticism' ('Memoirs,' i. 423), and here probably was the commencement of the long friendship between him and WORDSWORTH. As a student of WILSON'S, the Editor remembers vividly how the 'old man eloquent' used to kindle into enthusiasm the entire class as he worked into his extraordinary lectures quotations from the 'Excursion' and 'Sonnets' and 'Poems of the Imagination.' Among the letters (vol. iii. p. 263) is an interesting one refering to 'Advice to the Young;' and another to Professor WILSON (vol. ii. pp. 208-14). III. OF EDUCATION. (_a_) On the Education of the Young: Letter to a Friend, 1806. (_b_) Of the People, their Ways and Needs: Letter to Archdeacon Wrangham, 1808. (_c_) Education: Two Letters to the Rev. H.J. Rose, 1828. (_d_) Education of Duty: Letter to Rev. Dr. Wordsworth, 1830. (_e_) Speech on laying the Foundation-stone of the New School in the Village of Bowness, Windermere, 1836. In these Letters and the Speech are contained WORDSWORTH'S earliest and latest and most ultimate opinions and sentiments on education. Agree or differ, the student of WORDSWORTH has in these discussions--for in part they have the elaborateness and thoroughness of such--what were of the substance of his beliefs. Their biographic importance--intellectually and spiritually--can scarcely be exaggerated, _(a), (b), (c), (d)_ are from the 'Memoirs;' (_e_) is from the local newspaper (Kendal), being for the first time fully reprinted. VOL. II. AESTHETICAL AND LITERARY. I. _Of Literary Biography and Monuments_. (_a_) A Letter to a Friend of Robert Burns, 1816. (_b_) Letter to a Friend on Monuments to Literary Men, 1819. (_c_) Letter to John Peace, Esq., of Bristol, 1844.
