Transcript or Index | Mr D'Israeli, after the perusal of Mr Stanley's literary fautiae, returns his acknowledgements for that present. It has afforded him half an hour's amusement, of that sort, which is always rare, and perhaps Mr Stanley is not quite so young a gentleman, as he would have the Critics imagine. The poetical personages are well hit off, and many happy allusions will be restricted by poetical readers. K.R. Tuesday June 13. The year is not given but the dates tallies with 1815. |
