P. 449, l. 34 onward.  Mrs. Wordsworth.  My excellent Correspondent the Rev. R.P.  Graves, of Dublin, thus writes me of Mrs. Wordsworth:  ’I forget whether it has been put on record, as it certainly deserves to be, that Wordsworth habitually referred to his wife for the help of her judgment on his poems.  Mrs. Wordsworth did not indeed possess the creative and colouring power of imagination that belonged to his sister as well as to himself; but her simple truthfulness, her strong good sense (which no sophistry could impose upon), and her delicate feeling for propriety, rendered her judgment a test of utmost value with regard to any subjects of which it could take adequate cognisance.  And these were confined within no narrow range—­the workings of Nature as it lived and moved around her, social equities and charities, religious and moral truth, tried by the heart as well as by the head, and verbal expression, required by her to avoid the regions of the merely abstract and philosophical, and keep to the lower but more poetical ground of idiomatic strength and transparent logic.’

P. 457, l. 18.  ‘The (almost) contemporary notice of Milton.’  A still more significant contemporary notice of Milton than the well-known one of the text occurs in ’The Censure of the Rota upon Mr. Milton’s book entituled The Ready and Easie Way to establish a Free Commonwealth, 1660, by James Harrington,’ as comes out at p. 16 (’my Oceana’).  As it seems to have escaped the commentators, a short quotation must be given here:  ’Though you have scribled your eyes out, your works have never been printed but for the company of Chandlers and Tobacco-Men, who are your Stationers, and the onely men that vend your Labors’ (pp. 4-5).  ’He [a member of the Rota] said that he himself reprieved the Whole Defence of the People of England for a groat, that was sentenced to vile Mundungus, and had suffer’d inevitably (but for him), though it cost you much oyle and the Rump 300_l._ a year,’ &c. (ibid.).  This of the ’Defence’!!!
