Very probably one of the volumes now in the library was presented by Wordsworth.

There are several which were presented by his school-fellows, during the years in which Wordsworth was at Hawkshead.

The master, in 1877, promised me that he would search through his somewhat musty treasures, to see if he could discover a book with the poet's autograph; but I never heard of his success.

On the wall of the room containing the library is a tablet, recording the names of several masters.

There also, in an old oak chest, is kept the original charter of the school.
