Elizabeth Barrett to Cornelius Mathews, 30 April 1845: 'You will see the announcement of Mrs. Norton's new poem on the "Child of the Islands", namely our little Prince of Wales, .. in which she exhorts him to all manner of righteousness & justice & proper kingliness. I have read the poem only in extracts as yet, -- but the melody of cadence & eloquence of thought & tongue seem very delectable.'
