Weston-super-Mare To W. Allingham, Esq. My dear Sir, On seeing the announcement that you were about to give up the Editorship of Fraser, my first feeling was a vague sorrow: but this presently changed into a hope that you had found some other more satisfactory work. Perhaps I may take the liberty of saying that I have on the whole prized Fraser more since it has been under your mangagement. You seem to have better succeeded in excluding inferior material, under which Mr. Froude groaned, as a necessary incumbrance. I have regretted a tendency towards justifying the slave-party, but the articles have seemed to me of remarkably uniform goodness and intrinsic value, showing a judicious editor. I am very truly yours,
