Journals of Dorothy Wordsworth, Vol. 1 (of 2)
·
Dorothy Wordsworth
6
It
should
be
mentioned
that
Dorothy
Wordsworth
was
often
quite
incorrect
in
her
dates,
both
as
to
the
day
of
the
week
and
the
month.
Minute
accuracy
on
these
points
did
not
count
for
much
at
that
time;
and
very
often
a
mistake
in
the
date
of
one
entry
in
her
Journal
brought
with
it
a
long
series
of
future
errors.
The
same
remark
applies
to
the
Grasmere
Journal,
and
to
the
record
of
the
Continental
Tour
of
1820.
Many
friends
and
students
of
Wordsworth
regretted
the
long
delay
in
the
publication
of
the
Tour
made
in
Scotland
in
1803.
In
the
Recollections
of
the
Table-Talk
of
Samuel
Rogers
(1856),
p.
208,
we
find
the
following:
"I
do
indeed
regret
that
Wordsworth
has
printed
only
fragments
of
his
sister's
journal;
it
is
most
excellent,
and
ought
to
have
been
published
entire."
It
will
always
hold
a
place
of
honour
in
itinerary
literature.
It
possesses
a
singular
charm,
and
has
abiding
interest,
not
only
as
a
record
of
travel,
but
also
as
a
mirror
of
Scottish
life
and
character
nearly
a
hundred
years
ago.
