6/11 12 of the _Quarterly_ appeared in December 1811, and perhaps the most interesting article in the number was that by Canning and Ellis, on Trotter's "Life of Fox." Gifford writes to Murray about this article: "I have not seen Canning yet, but he is undoubtedly at work by this time. Pray take care that no one gets a sight of the slips. It will be a delightful article, but say not a word till it comes out." A pamphlet had been published by W.S.Landor, dedicated to the President of the United States, entitled, "Remarks upon Memoirs of Mr.Fox lately published." Gifford was furious about it. He wrote to Murray: _Mr.Gifford to John Murray_. It is almost too bad for the Eatons and other publishers of mad democratic books. |
