Abstract
From Robert Louis Stevenson: A Life Study in Criticism (1901) 18–23. Henry Bellyse Baildon (1849–1907) met Louis at Robert Thompson’s day school in Frederick Street, Edinburgh, in 1864 and they collaborated in the school magazine until Baildon left for the University in the autumn of 1865, where their friendship later resumed. He remained one of those friends to whom Louis in Samoa could indulge his nostalgic longings for Scotland. Baildon was the author of Rosamund, a Tragic Drama (1875) and several books of poems. He contributed the Stevenson entry to Homes and Haunts of Famous Authors (1906). In Temple Bar, 104 (March 1895) 325–33, he paid tribute to Stevenson as the enemy of moral pedantry and the most genuinely modest of men, revolted by the grim severity of Calvinism, yet with ‘his own rather exacting standards for human behaviour’ (331).
