Scope and content
Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Sends Robert an American "Nation", having marked three articles: "Understanding the Orient", "Interpreting India to the West", and "The London Lincoln", which is a 'charming piece ' of 'American humour, classicised and cultured'. Has just been re-reading letters from Goldwin Smith to Charles Norton from the 1860s, in which Smith - 'a man far greater than his works' - speaks of the "New Nation" as 'the first earnest of American moral renaissance since the Civil [War]'.
