1. Possibly “Archdeacon Hare and the English Review,” the first article in The Eclectic Review for June, although Milnes's authorship has not hitherto been ascribed to it. It says that though Hare gave a panegyric, “Sterling's relatives are understood to be dissatisfied that the closing part of the biography is in the tone of an apology, and that a partial veil is drawn over his final convictions, which are rather deplored than stated” (221). Because of this, the booklet Letters to a Friend. By John Sterling (Brighton, 1848) had been privately printed and so is included in the review. The author recognizes Sterling's unorthodoxy and refusal to believe in “a miraculous system.”
