| Title | Letter from A [Alexander] Macmillan, Macmillan and Company, 16 Bedford Street, Covent Garden, London, to Sir John [Frederick William] Herschel, Collingwood |
| Creator | Macmillan; Alexander (1818-1896); British publisher |
| Date | 25 April 1867 |
| Description | He explains that there has never been any Latin in their [Macmillan's] Magazine. Although there are learned contributors, the readers are unlearned, and therefore he returns the copy of [Friedrich von] Schiller's 'Walk' ['Der Spaziergang']. He hopes that Herschel will honour them with another paper on a popular subject. The Homer has not been a considerable success. In spite of persistance, the hexameter does not seem to be popular with the public, and less so with a section of the learned. |
