Scope and content
Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - An interesting letter came from Elizabeth last night about house staff arrangements at the Shiffolds, and about Julian. Is reading Sophocles, Manin [and the Venetian Revolution of 1848, by G. M. Trevelyan], and Harold Frederic's "Illumination" [The Damnation of Theron Ware"] for the third or fourth time; it is a 'book of wonderful power, and unfailing readableness throughout'. As Bacchus, would have chosen Euripides if the contest [in Aristophanes's "Frogs"] had been between him and Sophocles, but the guard in "Antigone" is a 'very Euripidean, or even fourth rate Shakespearean, character'.
