GE to Charles Edward Appleton, London, 7 January 1874
MS: Mr. J. H. Appleton. Hitherto unpublished.
The Priory, | 21. North Bank, | Regents Park.
January 7. 74.
Dear Mr. Appleton
I must tell you that owing to a mistake of our News Agent who sent us the Architect instead of the Academy, we did not get our ordered copy until Monday, so that I wrote my last letter in ignorance of your excellent first number of which both Mr. Lewes and I think very highly. The Parisian letter 2 is nicely done and escapes a certain offensive jauntiness which is in the usual fate of such correspondence.
We are distributing the 3 extra copies, munificently forwarded to us from the office, among friends in the country, by way of advertisement. Mr. Lewes hopes that this first number is being well made known in this way.
The single paragraph on the pressure of radiation 3 is worth more than the price of the paper to people who care about such subjects, and for tastes of another sort there is work very thoroughly done -- the account of Mr. A. J. Ellis's labours, 4 for example, and Max M'fcller's article. 5 Then, Miss Cobbe and Mr. Simcox 6 have done their criticisms very gracefully.
The particular Sunday on which Lord A. Russell will come again is incalculable, but I need not say that we shall be happy when any chance or purpose brings you among our friends. I gathered from what he said of Madame Peyronnet that her engagement with the P.M.G. was at an end.
Sincerely yours
M. E. Lewes.
