Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton
New York: Law Office, 20 Nassau St. - Has sent an American edition of Milnes' Keats through Putnam the publisher. Not sure America deserves the compliment Milnes pays it in the dedication, for 'the universal striving for wealth, too often leaves neither leisure no taste, for those treasures of English Literature, which we ought to prize...'; hopes Milnes' words will prove true with the passage of time, and that Milnes will soon visit: 'the voyage is nothing'.
