Browning in the “Thin paper poets” edition is a companion for daily walks, easily pocketed. The fact that Charlotte Porter and Helen A. Clarke contribute the biographical sketch vouches for its literary quality and authoritativeness. The frontispiece is a reproduction of his last photograph made in 1889.
