Note 3 — THE CATHOLIC WORLD. VOL. XXII., No. 127.—OCTOBER, 1875.
Reading edition
The preceding article was ready for the printers before a copy fell into our hands of Mary Stuart—a drama by Sir Aubrey de Vere—a poem which it had not been our good fortune to have read before. The public would seem to have exhibited an appreciation of this work we should scarcely have expected from them, for it is, we believe, out of print. For ourselves, we must say that for poetical conception, appreciation and development of the several personages of the drama, it appears to us to be very much superior to Queen Mary.
