Robert Browning" (London, W. Scott, 1890), under Section II., "Single
Works," appear the following entries:--
(1) "Cleon. Moxon: London, 1855. 8vo. Reprinted in _Men and
Women_."
(2) "Gold Hair: a Legend of Pornic. [London], 1864. 8vo.
Reprinted in _Dramatis Personæ_."

(4) Mr. Sharp also (p. 173) mentions a leaflet containing

Pamphlets bearing the titles of the first and third certainly exist, and
this may also be the case with regard to the second and fourth; but as
nothing is known of the history of any one of the four, all are excluded
from the foregoing Bibliography.
