English literature -- History and criticism
'In a recent "Memoir of Elizabeth Barrett Browning," by JOHN H.
INGRAM, it is observed that "such essays on her personal history
as have appeared, either in England or elsewhere, are replete with
mistakes or misstatements." For these he proposes to substitute "a
correct if short memoir:" but, kindly and appreciative as may be Mr.
Ingram's performance, there occur not a few passages in it equally
"mistaken and misstated."'
