EDMUND CLARENCE STEDMAN, poet
and crlic, who is banker on Pine
| Street, is perhaps the handsomest man
among the writer's. He is not quite tail

Father Time. The latter are brushed
to the side in English fashion. He is a
nervous, interesting talker, speaking
quietly and with that clear insight which
makes the . Victorian Poets . so easily
the best piece of America critical work.
