His Sonnets are not, therefore, the works that he esteems the most. Empson and I had spoken of the Sonnets as our favourites. He said, 'You are both wrong.' Rogers, however, attacked the form of the Sonnet with exaggeration, that he might be less offensive. I regret my inability to record more of Wordsworth's conversation. Empson related that Jeffrey had lately told him that so many people had thought highly of Wordsworth, that he was resolved to re-peruse his poems, and see if he had any thing to retract. Empson, I believe, did not end his anecdote; he had before said to me that Jeffrey, having done so, found nothing to retract, except, perhaps, a contemptuous or flippant phrase or two. Empson says he believed Jeffrey's distaste for Wordsworth to be honest,-mere uncongeniality of mind. Talfourd, who is now going to pay Jeffrey a visit, says the same. Jeffrey does acknowledge that he was wrong in his treatment of Lamb."-Diary, &c. of Henry Crabbe Robinson, ed. Bost., 1870, ii. 257. "Wordsworth and Dickens did not take to each other. Indeed, there was a mutual contempt between them, though they met only once. This was about 1843. Some days after, the gentleman whose guest Wordsworth was, in the suburbs of London, asked the Poet how he liked the great Novelist. Wordsworth had a great contempt for young men, and, after pursing up his lips in a manner peculiar to him, and swinging one leg over the other, the bare flesh of his ankles appearing over his socks, slowly answered, ‘Why, I am not much given to turn critic on people I meet; but, as you ask me, I will candidly avow that I thought him a very talkative, vulgar young person-but I dare say he may be very clever. Mind, I don't want to say a word against him, for I have never read a line that he has written.' Some time after this, the same querist guardedly asked Dickens how he had liked the Poet-Laureate. Like him? Not at all. He is a dreadful old ass.' In short, the two authors did not assimilate at all."-Life of Charles Dickens, by R. Shelton Mackenzie, LL.D., Phila., 1870, 12mo. Gems of Worgan, G.
