28/79 We remain yours obediently, J.MOGGRIDGE & CO. It is not without merit; but I consider art such an important subject that I mean to deal with it exclusively myself. With thanks for kindly appreciation of my new venture, I am yours faithfully, J.MOGGRIDGE, Ed. _Universal Review._ _To John Morley, Esq., Smith Street, Blackwall._ SIR:--Yes, I distinctly remember meeting you on the occasion to which you refer, and it is naturally gratifying to me to hear that you enjoy my writing so much. Unfortunately, however, I am unable to accept your generous offer to do Lord Beaconsfield for the "English Men of Letters" series, as the volume has been already arranged for. |
