Summary
Concerning a selection of Robert Browning's poetry: referring Knight again (see MA 9106.1) to Smith, Elder and Co.: "I am anxious to explain that in taking this course I am simply following the practice of my father. That you would make an admirable selection I do not doubt: but that is not the question."
