Stephen Gill, "Copyright and the Publishing of Wordsworth, 1850-1900": "On a visit to the Quantocks... William Hale White, 'Mark Rutherford,' reread The Excursion, book 1, and commented, 'Much of the religion by which Wordsworth lives is very indefinite. [...]' ... What he quotes in his journal is the conclusion of the Pedlar's 'natural wisdom' in its pre-1845 version."
