Watts[-Dunton], chiefly concerning the production of Rossetti's Ballads and Sonnets, 1881, and Poems, 1881, and in particular the ballad 'The White Ship'; early 1880 to Aug. 1881. It seems more likely that the ballad referred to in A1415 is 'The White Ship' than 'The Bride's Prelude'. Wise had an interest in claiming that it was the latter, as he was trying to prove that the proof of 'The Bride's Prelude' in his possession was a separate issu...
