I agree that the journal is misleading, and it gets worse. In that link to the excerpt from the journal, that I gave above, the excerpt makes the claim:
Quote:

Either that is missing from my edition or the article is putting words in Carroll's mouth. The author of the journal also uses phrases such as "the saccharine sentimentality" that I don't think does the article any favours.
