His efforts at humour were generally unfortunate. But when his melancholy, dignified Muse stalked across the stage wrapped in heavy robes, stiff with threads of gold, she rose to her full stature and asserted her personal dignity with success.’ (Edmund Gosse, writing in the \u003cem\u003eContemporary Review\u003c\/em\u003e, 1895.) The novelist Anthony Powell had an unfashionable liking for his work, which features in \u003cem\u003eA Dance to the Music of Time\u003c\/em\u003e: ‘Lord De Tabley .. a melancholy fellow, but not without merit’ (the speaker is the Eton master Le Bas, but the sentiment is Powell’s).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe binding design is one of Ricketts’ early triumphs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNelson, BH, 1893.8\/49.
