Correspondence of Samuel Richardson, selected from the
original manuscripts bequeathed by him to his family;
to which are prefixed a biographical account and observations
on his writings, by A. L. Barbauld. 6v. 1804. .92 R416
"So far from containing any view of the literature, the politics, or manners
of the time—any anecdotes of the eminent and extraordinary
personages to whom the author had access. . .they consist almost entirely
of compliments and minute criticisms on his novels, a detail of
his ailments and domestic concerns, and some tedious prattling disputations
with his female correspondents, upon the duties of wives
and children... Compliments and the novels form indeed the staples
of the whole correspondence." Edinburgh review, 1804.
Rossetti, Dante Gabriel.
Caine, Hall. Recollections of Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
1882 92 R744ca
"Mr. Caine knew Rossetti during the last four years of his life, mainly
through correspondence, but in the months preceding his death more
intimately as his constant companion. The reminiscences cover a
narrow portion of the poet's career, and reveal him... in his least
admirable character... They show us a broken man, a spirit in decline."
Nation, 1883.

Final recollections of a diplomatist. 1905
92 R867
"The story of diplomatic life is brought down from 1885 to 1900, and
covers Sir Horace's experiences at Athens, The Hague, and Vienna.
His account of these courts is mildly interesting, but leaves the
impression that diplomats have very little to do except attend balls
and other social gatherings." Nation, 1906.
