Robert Browning to Thomas Powell, c.October 1842: 'I am highly obliged to you [...] for the two volumes of verse now on my table. I have not as yet found time for the steady perusal I must give them -- but a glance at some of the smaller pieces has already convinced me of the injustice of your styling their appearance in print, an "infliction."'
