We note with deep regret the death on Sunday last
of Miss Mary Coleridge, best known as the author of "The King with Two Faces," one of the most fascinating historical romances ever written. To a style of rare simplicity and distinction she united an imagination at once tender and fantastic. Whatever she touched she invested with a peculiar glamour, like that of landscapes seen through "magic ease- ments," and the verses she wrote under the pseudonym of " Anodos," some of which appeared in our columns, were marked by the same ethereal charm. We can only add that the quality of her published work was the true reflex of a singularly gentle yet essentially chivalrous nature.
