Henry Hope Reed : Lectures on History and Tragic Poetry as Illustrated by Shakespeare
'Did you ever happen to come across Professor Reed of Philadelphia. I think he was drowned in returning to America along with his sister-in-law. We have been reading his lectures upon "Shakspere," [sic] and upon "English Literature" and are all quite enchanted with them. I think his criticism of Shakspere [sic] is sometimes almost equal to Shakspere [sic] himself. I think Reed must have been a delightful person to have known. Since we have come across it, we have been hearing of it from all quarters. I suppose it must only have made its appearance in this country lately. I think that wherever he is read he must make a sensation as of the great lights of the world.'
