The two families clearly interacted frequently, with Dora Wordsworth noting in a letter to Edward Quillinan on 17 May 1833 that 'Where you are now I cant guess but as Sir Thomas Pasley, who sets off for town this afternoon, offers to be the bearer of any letters, I will enclose this to Miss Booth's care who we think is most likely to know where you are to be found' and 'If it be more convenient to you to send my book to No 2. Portland Place Sir Thomas Pasley who returns to Rydal in a month will bring it for me'. (The Wordsworth Trust Collection)Presentation copies in the author's hand are scarce, even more so with manuscript corrections. We have been able to trace three copies with author corrections appearing at auction, the copy inscribed to Robert Perceval Graves (Sotheby's, 25th February 1918), the copy inscribed to Sarah Hoare (Sotheby's, 18th November 1935 & Anderson Galleries, 1936) and a unsigned copy (Christie's, 3rd March 2004, The Halsted B. Vander Poel Collection of English Literature).The corrections found in this copy are as follows. In 'The Egyptian Maid' (pp.47-68), part of the second stanza 'To a full orb, this Pinnace bright, / As nearer to the Coast she drew, / Appeared more glorious, with spread sail and pendant' becomes 'To a full orb, this Pinnance bright, became / As nearer to the Coast she drew, / More Glorious, with spread sail and streaming pendant.' In the next stanza the line 'In patience built with subtle care' is replaced with 'Was over built with patient care'. In 'Inscription, intended for a stone in the grounds of Rydal Mount' (pp. 85), part of the first stanza 'To let it rest in peace; and here / (Heaven knows how soon) the tender-hearted' is altered to 'So let it rest; and time will come / when here the tender-hearted'. Finally, to 'V - The Trosachs' (pp. 13), 'Thrice happy Guest' is changed to 'Thrice happy quest'. These corrections were subsequently made by the publisher.

He studied in Italy, taking his doctor's degree at Ferrara in 1517, and was ordained a priest in Rome. He became Dean of the Liebfrauenkirche at Frankfurt in 1520, and was present at the Diets of Worms, Regensburg, Speyer and Augsburg, during which period he established his opposition to Luther. Cochlaeus was responsible in large part for the flight of William Tyndale from Cologne where he had been preparing the first edition in English of the New Testament, to Worms, where he finally succeeded in issuing the work in 1525. One of the principal accounts of this episode is given in Cochlaeus' biography of Luther in the present work (pages 132-135).

Maria Sybilla, daughter of the German engraver and publisher Matthias Merian, devoted herself to the study of European insects and their metamorphoses.

She sailed with her daughter Dorothea in June 1699 and remained in Surinam until 1701. Her work, first published in 1705, 'gave an unprecedented glimpse of the teeming insect life of tropical South America, with gorgeous butterflies flying around luxuriant flowering or fruiting plants'.

Amongst his contemporaries in Paris at this time were Erasmus, Francois Rabelais, and Reginald Pole, and he was well enough known to be mentioned ironically in Rabelais's Gargantua as the author of a treatise on black puddings. In 1518 he returned to Scotland to become Principal of the University of Glasgow, and in 1533 was made Provost of St Salvator's College in the University of St Andrews, where his students included George Buchanan and John Knox.

According to Church, ' Hakluyt's Principall Navigations was the fruit of a life devoted to promoting the cause of English colonisation and commerce by disseminating knowledge about, and stimulating interest in, all the less known, or recently discovered parts of the world', and the supplement 'contains fourteen rare works not easily accessible in any other form, and is quite as important as either of the volumes published in [Hakluyt's] time.'
