Footnote
Note: From the library of Mrs Sanger (née Mary Calvert). Katharine was ten years younger than Mary Stanger. Mary had played with Sara & Dora, the children of Wordworth and Coleridge, at Keswick, and this copy thus links the female side of the Romantic Poets. The book is dedicated to William and Mary Wordsworth.
