Fuller, Margaret. Papers on Literature and Art. New York: Wiley and Putnam, 1846.

Inferred Fuller’s words — “as all knowledge has been taught by Professor Jacotot from the Telemachus of Fenelon, so was she taught the secrets of the universe from Wordsworth's poems.” — point to Telemachus of Fenelon (teaching method), but she does not give the work’s full title or author here; the identification of the specific work is the editor’s.
