The Wordsworth Trust in Cumbria has announced that it has purchased a book by William Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge for GBP42,000.

The book, which had belonged to one of Wordsworth's school friends and is now being displayed in Grasmere at the Wordsworth Museum, is the second edition of Lyrical Ballads, which was published in 1800.

According to the BBC, the book is one of just seven in the world that contain corrected pages altering an error which left the poem 'Michael' with 15 lines missing in the original version.
