Item 99 - Letter from Hilary Steuert to James Smith

1 single sheet

Downside Abbey, Stratton-on-the-Fosse, near Bath.—Would like to see his articles, and asks him to send them as they appear. Encloses a prospectus for the [Downside] Review and asks him to pass it to possible contributors. Discusses Cressy’s Sancta Sophia. Refers to Warwick Bond [editor of Lyly, etc.] and to certain articles by Croll [see 1/101]. ‘I wonder if [Thomas] Nash derives from some derivative vestige of the “homely-idiomatic-pulpit-medieval style”?’ Recommends a review of Baskerville’s Suppression of the Monasteries.
