description: Excerpt from A Description of the Wordsworth Coleridge Manuscripts in the Possession of Mr. T. Norton With Three Facsimile Mr. T. Norton Longman possesses four remarkable volumes of Wordsworth and Coleridge MSS. He thinks that a description of them may be of some use to Wordsworth and Coleridge students, and this little volume has accordingly been prepared. Some of the details may appear insignificant, but the value of a detail is not to be measured by its external importance. The inter-mixture of handwritings, for example, is remarkable evidence of the intimacy of the relationship between Coleridge, Wordsworth and Dorothy, and shows how much the Lyrical Ballads of 1800 owed to love and friendship.Professor Knight, in his last edition of Wordsworth's Poems, has inserted some of the various readings found in the MSS.
