[Footnote 148:  “My father died without pain or suffering other than that of weakness or weariness”—­so Mr R. Barrett Browning wrote to Mrs Bloomfield-Moore.  “His death was what death ought to be, but rarely is—­so said the doctor.” (Quoted in an article on Browning by Mrs Bloomfield-Moore in Lippincott’s Magazine—­Jan.—­June 1890, p. 690.)]

[Footnote 149:  A grave in the Abbey was at the same time offered for the body of Browning’s wife; the removal of her body from Florence would have been against both the wishes of Browning and of the people of Florence.  It was therefore declined by Mr R. Barrett Browning.  See his letter in Mrs Bloomfield-Moore’s article in Lippincott’s Magazine, vol. xiv.]

[Footnote 150:  E.D.  West in the first of two papers, “Browning as a Preacher,” in The Dark Blue Magazine.  Browning esteemed these papers highly and in what follows I appropriate, with some modifications, a passage from the first of them.  The writer has consented to the use here made of the passage, and has contributed a passage towards the close.]
