Scope and content

Stratton-on-the-Fosse.—Commends James Smith’s paper on Shakespearian criticism, but recommends a simpler style. Refers approvingly to Coventry Patmore’s contrast between the ‘open sea’ of Catholicism and the ‘duck pond’ of Anglicanism and other ‘separated’ branches of the Church. Hopes that Smith, having come into possession of the Catholic faith, will now use his life and learning to the glory of God. Will use his influence with the «Dublin Review» on Smith’s behalf. Sends some excerpts from T. S. Eliot.
