Scope and content
[Fragment of letter]. Undertakes to write about the addressee's book sometime. Reports that there is a review in the Pall Mall Gazette of that day '[26]', which is 'careful, considerate, instructive and only inappreciative because totally unsympathetic'. Regrets to hear that his correspondent is ' "devoting [himself] to the Muse" ', because, he claims, his genius 'does not want this devotion', being lyrical and not epic or dramatic, and because his 'mixture of vehemence and curiosity would make [him] a valuable politician.'
