Summary
Returning and criticizing a manuscript submitted to Meredith as a reader for Chapman and Hall: "...it contains much good matter and has an elevated aim, but is written in a convulsive style, that would be repugnant to readers who want narrative...," and noting that tastes have transferred from Ouida to Rider Haggard and Rudyard Kipling.
