Proof sheet of Browning's poem "One way of love", here presented as "For Elegiacs", with editorial comments and suggestions in letterpress at foot, and a proof sheet of the poem translated into Latin verse; evidently sent to Browning by Robert Whitelow to serve as an example of the standard lay-out for a periodical published by "The twenty" (the form below the Sixth) at Cambridge; with the running title "The Twenty. Nov., 1877." on both sheets.
