TO JOHN MORLEY.

Down, March 24th, 1871.
From the spirit of your review in the "Pall Mall Gazette" of my last book, which has given me great pleasure, I have thought that you would perhaps inform me on one point, withholding, if you please, your name.
You say that my phraseology on beauty is "loose scientifically, and philosophically most misleading." (241/1.
