Excerpt from Some Wordsworth Finds?

In this admirable passage the genial author of Gurthstonewick Priory has evidently aimed at giving a complete catalogue of the agents whom he so excellently designates Intro ducers; but he is to be charged with at least one important omission. Do not the recent inestimable finds of precious scraps of De Quincey and of Thackeray remind us that between producer and publisher there is often a missing link P Artists are rarely the best judges of their own work, and have often withheld from' the world as worthless what the world can ill afford to use. Recognition is not accorded in the catalogue to those laborious gleaners of every straw of whom Mr. Buxton Forman is so indefatigable and praiseworthy an example. If Mr. Latt will forgive a clumsy imitation of his own graceful use of Biblical phraseology, he may be asked whether there is not also the Gatherer of Fragments, that nothing be lost.
