Inscribed to inside cover ïWilliam Wordsworth Esq from the AuthorÍ and Grangerised with a letter to the TLS March 6th 1919, which points out that the verses by Wordsworth published in this work constitute their first appearance in print. The letter also notes that Penfold's daughter, Augusta J.

This book has 'local information appended to most of the pages [by] a younger and less experienced writer' (preface); it seems possible that this younger writer was the author's daughter.
