Summary
Offering comments and advice on Allen's work; including a mixed review of Allen's Born Out of Time, saying "I am afraid that its philosophic & communistic tendencies, (though I have personally a great leaning in the same direction) will greatly disadvantage it with subscribers to Mudie's," and declining to publish it in the Cornhill for the same reason (item 2).
