ABSTRACT
Wordsworth, Poems (1807); Beau Monde, II (Oct. 1807), 138–142. The hostile reviewer knows Lyrical Ballads and seems to be aware (perhaps from reading the Edinburgh Review) that Wordsworth is a member of a new school of poetry. On page 139 there is a mention of Dr. Abraham Rees (1743–1825), a dissenting teacher and preacher and the editor of repeated revisions of Chambers’ Cyclopaedia.
