Scope and content
8 St. James St. - Deep interest in Monographs, but disagrees on several points: Sydney Smith is misrepresented about [Theodore] Hook; they only met twice and after the second occasion Smith remarked to Hayward ;If I had not been told who he was, I should have said he was a quiet, goodnatured, ordinary sort of man. Agrees about Heine but would not have described him as fat; translations excellent; his own writings on Heine. Odd terms of honour applied to Suleiman Pasha: 'But your book is most valuable as a whole. Postscript: living referred to by Sydney Smith should read 'Halberton near Tiverton'.
