PITHY QUOTE FROM Tennyson: Letters
Gladstone was at C. with me. I had met him before, but had never seen him so nearly. Very pleasant, and very interesting he was, even when he discoursed on Homer, where most people think him a little hobby-horsical: let him be. His hobby-horse is of the intellect and with a grace.

The editors . . . have annotated the letters with marvellous fullness and precision and—what seems even more remarkable—with zest and wit. Through their exhaustive work we get, incidentally, a feeling for the texture of Victorian life. |
