    Essay on Wordsworth seems to me one of the loveliest of his lovely compositions. To some young persons it may be of service to be referred, with relation to certain passages, to Professor Newcomb's 'Astronomy,' to Boole's 'Laws of Thought,' and to Maxwell's article on Atoms, in the 'Encyclopaedia Britannica.' Should only a few read these now for the first time, the rule of the Association will not have been in vain. I have thought it better not to give illustrative references, nor to fill in details which there was no time to relate at the meeting. Both would be far too numerous for an ephemeral discourse, which lays no claim to originality, and advanced students of the subjects touched on would not need them, H. W, A. Oxford, 1880.
