The Recluse. Part First, Book First — Home at Grasmere. [Once to the verge of yon steep barrier came] i T/ie Recluse, though in a way complete in itself, does not constitute a completed work. U'ordsworth had planned a long and elaborate autobiographical poem to consist of three Parts and a Prelude, to bear the title The Recluse. But of the four sections all he lived to produce were 77/,? Prelude, published alone in 1850 [see ante. No. 33], The Excursion, also published alone in 18 14 [see atite. No. 10], and the present poem, which was left in manuscript at his death, and which represents the first Part of the first Book only. '''' The Recluse," Wordsworth wrote to Landor in September 182 i, " has had a long sleep, save in my' thoughts. My manuscripts are so ill-penned and blurred that at present I cannot face them. But if my stomach can be preserved in tolerable order, I hope you will hear of me again, in the character chosen for the title of that poem." A passage consisting of twenty-seven lines from the then unpublished Recluse was pri-nted by Wordsworth, with a slightly N 178 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WORDSWORTH. differing text, in the Fourth Edition, 1823, of A Description of the Scenery of tlie Lakes. In the Poetical Works of 1827, Vol. ii, pp. 51 — 52, the lines were included as a complete poem under the title Water-Pozvl. The last 107 lines of The Recluse [On Man, on Nature, and on Hiimafi Life, &c.] had previously appeared in The Excursion. 1 814, pp. X — xiv, where Wordsworth introduced them at the close of his Preface as *' a kind of Prospectus of the design and scope of the whole Poem."

Issued in bright red paper wrappers lined with white, with trimmed edges, and with the title-page, imposed within a single rectangular ruled frame, reproduced upon the front. The leaves measure 9 X 75 inches. Thirty copies only were printed. The text of the pamphlet consists of an open letter addressed by Wordsworth to Serjeant Talfourd, M.P., which appeared in The Morning Post of April 23/-^, 1838, and which had ap- parently escaped all notice until I chanced upon it recently when searching a file of the paper for any stray writing of Wordsworth's. The Copyright Act referred to by the poet was presented to the House of Commons for the first time on April i?>tli, 1838. When he set himself to compose the present letter Words- worth was for the second time employing his pen in support of Talfourd's Bill. An earlier letter, dated April izth, 1838, ad- dressed to the Editor of The Kendal Mercury, had appeared in the columns of that paper on April \6th, 1838, over the pseu- donymous initials "A.B.'' This earlier letter is already well known, and is included in the Frose Works of William Words- 7vorlh, edited by William Knight, 1S96, Vol. ii, pp. 375 — 382. Its successor, now rescued from its obscurity in a dusty file of an old newspaper, should henceforth find a place beside it.

When preparing The Convict for its place in Lyrical Ballads Wordsworth dealt with it in his usual manner, and introduced drastic changes into the text. As this earlier version from The Morning Post has never yet been included in any edition of Wordsworth's Poetical Works, and as no editor of any edition has yet detailed the differ- ences of text which it presents, I give it here in full. THE CONVICT. The Sun was dilating his orb in the West And the still Season's melloiving charm. Diffused thro' all Nature, was felt in the breast. And the breast became kindly and ivarm. And must L then part from these objects so fair t Ln the pain of my spirit L said : But, subduing the thought, L made haste to repair To the Cell tvliere the Convict is laid. CONTRrnUTIONS TO PERIODICAL LITERATURE. 189 The tJiick-ribbed ivalls that overshadow the gate Resound — and the dungeons unfold, I pause ; and at length thro' the glimmering grate That outcast of pity behold. His black matted head on his bosom is bent, And deep is the sigh of his breath ; JVhile with steadfast dejection his eye is intent On the fetters that link him to death I Tis sorroiv enough on that visage to gaze That body dismissed from his care : But my fancy has pierdd to his heart, and pour trays More terrible images thet-e. His bones are consumed, and his life-blood is dried In wishes the past to n/ido ; And his crime, thro the pains that overwhelm him descried, Still blackens and gro7i>s on his vieiv. IVhen from the dark Synod, or blood-reeking field. To his chamber the Monarch is led, All soothers of sense their soft virtue shall yield. And silent attention shall pilhnv his head. If the less guilty Convict a moment would dose. And oblivion his tortures appease, On the iron that galls him his limbs must repose In the damp-dripping vault of disease. When full fain he would sleep, and had patiently tried A^o longer his body to turn. And the iron that enters so deep in /lis side Has entered too deep to be borne ; While the jail-mastiff howls at the dull-clanking chain, From the roots of his hair there shall start A thousand sharp punctures of cold-sweating pain, And terror shall leap at his heart I igo BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WORDSWORTH. But noiv he half-raises his deep-sunken eye. And the motion unsettles a tear ! It seems the hnv voice of despair to supply, And asks of me, why I am here ? Poor victim ! no idle intntder has stood With overweening complacence our states to compare ; But one whose first %vish is the wish to he good, Is come as a brother thy sorrows to share. At thy ?iame, though compassion her nature resigji, Tito' in virtue's proud mouth thy report be a stain. My care, if the artn of the mighty zvere mine, Would plant thee where yet thou might'' st blossom again. Vain 2vish ! Yet misdeem not that vainly I grieve — When vengeance has quitted her grasp on thy frame, My pity thy children and ivife shall reprieve From the dangers that limit round the dwellings of shame. When The Convict was published in The Morning Post it appeared over the signature " Mortimer." This nom-deplume was afterwards appended by Coleridge to his stanzas Moricns Superstiti, which were printed in T/ie Morning Post on May \oth, 1798. Mr. R. A. Potts has suggested (in The Athencnum, August 13///, 1904) that Wordsworth had given a copy of the poem to Coleridge, and that the latter, " unfurnished for the moment with anything he considered fit for Dan. Stuart's columns, had written out his friend's verses, and sent them, in lieu of a contribution of his own, to the importunate editor." (4) The Morning Post, Februajy i2,th, 1798.

[Part /.] This number of The Friend contained the opening pages of a reply by Wordsworth to an article by Professor Wilson [''Christopher North"], signed "Mathetes," which appeared in the same number, pp. 257 — 268. This portion of Wordsworth's reply was unsigned, and, being phrased in the first person singular, might be supposed to have come from the ]5en of the Editor, Coleridge. But the question of Authorship is definitely settled by a letter addressed by Wordsworth to Professor Rowan Hamilton on September 26fh, 1830, in which the poet remarked: "If you can lay your hands upon Mr. Coleridge's Friend, you will find some remarks of mine upon a letter signed, if I recollect aright, 'Mathetes,' which was written by Professor Wilson."

Two introductory paragraphs with which the Essay opened in T/ie Friend were not reprinted by Wordsworth. The deletion was evidently unob- served by both Dr. Grosart and Prof. Knight, as neither editor made any comment upon it.

Grosart, 1876, Vol. ii, pp. 25 — 40. In this edition two further sections of the Essay were first printed from the Author's manuscript : 1. The Country Churchyard, and critical examination of Ancient Epitaphs., pp. 41—59- 2. Celebrated Epitaphs considered, \>\i. 60 — 75. On p. xxxviii of his Preface Dr. Grosart asserts that "Wordsworth's own capitals, italics, punctua- tion, and other somewhat antique characteristics, have been faithfully reproduced." What amount of reliance can be placed upon Dr. Grosart's state- ment may be ascertained by comparing the text of this Essay as it appears in The Friend, and as it reappears in the present edition of 1S76. But Dr. Grosart was at all times one of the least careful and least reliable of editors.

In compiling the following list of Collected Editions of the Poetical, Prose, and Dramatic Works of William Wordsworth actual New Editions only have been considered. Mere reprints from stereotyped plates have been systematically disregarded. The whole of the editions included in the many Series ol "Works" of various poets are confined to non-copyright matter, and are frequently but little more than Selections. No attention has therefore been paid to any of these collections. The editions which find a place upon the list are all of bibliographical im- portance, as each of them afforded the opportunity of introducing to the public some fresh instalment of the Poet's work, or was the vehicle by means of which compositions already current were given their final shape.

Vols, i and ii are dated 1836 ; Vols, iii — vi are dated 1S37. For this edition the text of the Poems was again revised in a drastic manner. On October 20///, 1836, Wordsworth wrote to the Rev. T. J. Judkins : '"'■ I am triity sensible of your kind offer to assist in illustrating my Poems., I regret that this was not thought of when we met in Town, and something migJit have been contrived for our Mutual satisfaction — // is now too late for the present edition. . . . I have desired Mr. Moxon to send yoic tny volumes as they come out. If you think it worth whiile to compare the pieces entitled ' Evening Walkj' ' Descrip- tive Sketches,'' arid ' The Waggoner^ you will find I have made very considerable alterations, which I trust will be found to be im-prove- ments — at all events they ought to be so, for they cost me much labour." The 6 volumes were reissued in 1839, the title-page of each volume bearing that date. No alteration was made in the text, but the Errata notified upon the slips inserted in the original volumes were duly corrected. Issued in dark green cloth boards, gilt lettered.

COLLECTED EDITIONS. 225 Vols, i, ii, iv, and v have each an engraved Frontispiece after paintings by Sir George Beaumont, Bart. Vol. vi has a Portrait of Wordsworth by H. W. Pickersgill, engraved by W. H. Watt. This edition was printed from stereotyped plates made from the edition of 1836 — 7, with the corrections of 1839. But to Vol. v was added a supplement of 32 pages carrying 12 Sonnets which had first appeared in The Sonnets of William Wordsworth., 1838 [cniie, p. 153], together with translations into Latin by the Rev, John Wordsworth of three of his father's poems. The 6 volumes were reprinted from plates in 1841 and 1842. To the latter issue was added a seventh volume, consisting of Foetns, Chiefly of Early and Late Years, pp. xii + 405 [ante, p. 155]. The 7 volumes were reprinted from plates in 1843, 1845, 1846, 1849, and 185 1. To the latter issue was added an eighth volume, containing The Prelude, pp. x + 304 \ante, p. 172]. In the several issues of this edition from 1840 to 1846 various slight changes are to be observed in the text. Wordsworth evidently introduced these changes gradually, and the plates were altered from time to time to accommodate them. Issued in dark claret-coloured cloth boards, gilt lettered.

For this edition Wordsworth again thoroughly revised the text of his poems, and a number of pieces made their first appearance in its pages. The book was stereotyped, and reprints constantly appeared up to quite recent years. The latest issues bore the imprint of Messrs. Ward, Lock and Co. To the issue of 185 1 The Prelude was added, and in the issue of 1869 a series of additional poems were included, the collation being ultimately extended to pp. xxiv + 704. In 1849 the portrait engraved by Finden was cancelled and replaced by a fresh vignette. The Finden picture of Rydal Mount was also removed, and replaced by a new illustration of the same house engraved by T. H. Ellis after a picture by T. Creswick, R.A.
