THE LETTERS OF WILLIAM AND DOROTHY WORDSWORTH, 1806-1820. Two vols. --Edited by Ernest de Selincourt--Oxford University Press ($14). Second installment (first published in 1935) of what will be, when completed, the most comprehensive collection of Wordsworth letters.

Dim memoir of the author's historian husband and of her father, famed Southern author George W. Cable, whose Civil War novel Dr. Sevier has been cited as a forerunner of Gone With The Wind.

DENMARK: KINGDOM OF REASON--Ag-nes Rothery--Viking ($3). Attractively written, microscopic guide to "the oldest kingdom in the world . . . also one of the wisest and happiest." Like Marquis W.
