Dear list members,

BH> I am trying to trace the source for the quotation attributed to Henry James, 'Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius (as distinct from fine intelligence) that I have ever known.'
It's from a letter to William James dated 6 February 1892 according to the extract on page 68 of 'Kipling: the critical heritage' edited by Roger Lancelyn Green. Green also refers to page 193 of Carrington's 1955 biography, though I can't see it in my Pelican edition.
