ABSTRACT
I procured from the library Wordsworth’s lyrical Ballads: I think them in general superior to those of Coleridge’s with which they are interspersed.
. . . met a young man (a predestined Marquis) called Johnston – he spoke to him [Wordsworth] familiarly of the LB – he had seen a copy presented by the Queen to Mrs Harcourt – said he saw them everywhere & wondered they did not sell.
