Talking of the Woodcutter reminds me to ask you if you have seen in the Pall Mall a day or two since an account with extracts, of an early Contribution by the Jew his Rival to the Book of Beauty.' If not I must send it to you. It is a tragic Tale of Star Crossed Love in which one of the leading persons is the Third of the Trinity under his old favourite disguise of a Carrier Pigeon, as playing (would to any other God, for humanity's sake, that we could say for the first and only time) the too congenial part of Sir Pandarus of Troy. Yours ever, A. C. Swin- . burne." To myself the interesting part of the letter is that I knew both the protagonists well. Swinburne I once had to take home in a Hansom cab, and I shall never forget the occasion. Furnivall lived opposite me when, thirty years ago, we were at Primrose Hill, and we saw him almost every day. But Furnivall and I were not at all of a kidney. In those days he ran a rowing-club for girls from Hammersmith. We kept a boat at Richmond, and we often met Furnivall on an island near Kingston, when he would drink a dozen bottles of ginger-beer with his lunch and then sleep for an hour. He was very indiscreet, and, as is well-known, once bowled off" (as he termed it), a postcard which resulted in an action for libel, and when cast in damages for £100 (and costs), a subscription was got up to pay the amount, so that his home might be saved. Upon that island at Kingston he would, on a Sunday afternoon, gather his feminine following around him and read one of Shakespeare's plays aloud. all probability everybody was very much bored but himself-they looked it— for when you are on the river you want to be doing something active, and save Shakespeare for more meditative hours.
