MEMORANDUM BY THE AUTHOR

The transcript of the First Part of this Journal, and the Second as far

as page 43, were written before the end of the year 1803. I do not know

exactly when I concluded the remainder of the Second Part, but it was

resumed on the 2nd of February 1804. The Third Part was begun at the end

of the month of April 1805, and finished on the 31st of May.[19]

[Footnote 19: It is difficult to know what the Author meant by the

First, Second, and Third "Parts" of her Journal; as it is divided into

separate "Weeks" throughout. It is not of much consequence however,

and the above short "Memorandum"--inserted in the course of the

transcript--has a special interest, as showing that the work of

copying her Journal was carried on by Dorothy Wordsworth from 1803 to

1805.--ED.]
