Note 71 — EXTRACTS FROM DOROTHY WORDSWORTH'S JOURNAL (from 1st January 1802 to 8th July 1802) (continued 2)

Several of the poems, referred to in this Journal, are difficult, if not impossible, to identify. The Inscription of the Pathway, finished on the 28th of August 1800; The Epitaph, written on the 28th January 1801; The Yorkshire Wolds poem, referred to on March 10th, 1802; also The Silver Howe poem, and that known in the Wordsworth household as The Tinker. It is possible that some of them were intentionally suppressed. The Inscription of the Pathway and The Tinker will, however, soon be published.—Ed.
