*** It was as a humourist in the pages of P that Charles Keene was known to all the
world. Personally he was a shy man and led a retired life, and yet, since his death, the world
of art has recognised him as the greatest English master of Black and White. The few who
knew him intimately were aware that he was a most charming companion, and that as a letter-
writer The lowest of the four classes into which East India Company civil servants were divided. A Writer’s duties originally consisted mostly of copying documents and book-keeping. he was distinguished by droll humour and genial outspoken criticism, and this renders
his correspondence peculiarly attractive. These characteristics are brought out prominently
in Mr. Layard's biography, and he has had the advantage of access to a rich and varied store
of unpublished letters, reminiscences, and other literary materials.

4 A handsome volume. . . . To most people, of course, Severn is only interesting because of his-intimate con
nection with the poet who was supposed to have been killed by cruel reviewers. Independently, however, of his
friendship for "my beloved Keats," Joseph Severn was a considerable painter, and a man to whose winsome
personality Mr. lluskin has borne generous testimony; and as during his consular services he saw before his eyes
the gradual process of the liberation of Italy, the production of Mr. Sharp's biography will have an interest to many
others besides specialists.'— D aily T elegraph.
