Excerpt from Wordsworth for the Young: Selections With an Introduction for Parents and Teachers

In Part I. An extract has been made from The White Doe suitable to very young readers. L'n fortunately, the poem was too long to give in full in Part II. The Prologue to Peter Bell is given merely because of its fairy-like-ness, and its probable attractiveness to the young.

Part III. Is separated from Part II. Because - as is evident the extracts and selections are too serious for the average child - being purely descriptions of Nature, with little or no human interest. Probably most children will have to grow into these beautiful descriptions after enjoying Parts I. And II. I have taken the liberty of affixing titles to the passages which are chosen from The Prelude and The Excursion, and to a few of the others. There is a difference of opinion concerning the mountains intended by Wordsworth, in The Excursion, where he says, I could not, ever and anon, forbear To glance an upward look on two huge Peaks.

But the Langdale Pikes have the weight of opinion in their favor.

It is earnestly hoped that the charming bits from The Prelude will prove the vestibule to usher the child-reader into the more glorious Cathedral. Then indeed will he be able to discern for him self, and - what is better possess that inward eye which shall make life sweeter and holier.
