Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton
Ravensworth Castle. - Thanks for Scutari stanzas and Introductory Address [to Edinburgh Philosophical Institution]; encloses ballad for Houghton's son and own 'Canzonet to Water'; admires Houghton's poetry without a philosophical analysis of the poetic faculty. Enjoyed Houghton's pun on Disraeli; once addressed Mrs Disraeli as a 'Dizzy-Pated Woman'.
