As PVF will continue to haunt us through our English
examples, take, by way of comparison, this Latin verse, of
which it forms a chief adornment, and do not hold me
answerable for the all too Roman freedom of the sense: 'Hanc
volo, quae facilis, quae palliolata vagatur.'

A footnote, at least, is due to the admirable example
set before all young writers in the width of literary
sympathy displayed by Mr. Swinburne. He runs forth to
welcome merit, whether in Dickens or Trollope, whether in

we should all seek to preserve; not only in that, but in
every branch of literary work.

romance without a spark of merit, and now deleted from the
world.

1889.
