“Talking of coarse engravings, I must observe how shockingly that of Tennyson, which we see in Horne’s “Spirit of the Age” metamorphosizes his picture”
“Talking of Mr. Horne, I saw him; he is a great favorite with his friends, and one can easily see why.”
“One, “The History of a London Doll,” I read with sincere edification. The Statesman’s attempt to answer Dolly’s letter is very good.”
