Abstract
A letter from William Wordsworth that appears to be to Robert Southey in which Wordsworth asks Southey to send him Alexander von Humboldt's books on South America and James Montgomery's "World Before the Flood." Wordsworth also comments upon politics in Europe, apparently referring to Napoleon's march on Paris in March 1815. Wordsworth speculates that even if Napoleon gains possession of Paris again, he will not hold the imperial seat long. Also included is a fragment of paper bearing R. Southey's name.
