One letter from English writer and critic William Michael Rossetti to William Allingham regarding an article Allingham had written for the "Coleraine Chronicle," which in it Allingham revised his previous opinion on A. Smith, likely the Scottish poet Alexander Smith. Rossetti offers his own critique of Allingham's revised opinion, comparing himself to what Allingham calls "a hyper-critic."
