Scope and content
Chadstone, Northampton. - Thanks for book, received via Lord Northampton; the Clephanes are also delighted with the poems, which convey 'Truth in the symbols of world-enduring beauty'; contrast with Shelley, who 'seems a sealed book to so many, I suppose it is from the difficulty of sympathising when one's fancy is perfectly bewildered'; regrets absence of the Roman sonnets.
