Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from William Wordsworth
He respected himself, he revered his subject too much for that. The close personal intimacy, the frequent intercourse he had enjoyed with the venerable old man who had shown him an all but fatherly affection, so far from dulling his sense of what was due to such a character, only served to intensify it, and nothing would have given him greater pain than to dwell on the passing weak nesses, and the commonplace and unedifying de tails from which no human life is wholly exempt.
