Mary Berry (ed.) : [Letters of Mme du Deffand to Horace Walpole and to Voltaire]

'I think Miss Berry's introduction of matter so offensive to the living very injudicious and blameable. You may be right perhaps in calling her preface dull and stupid but I doubt it is hypocritical - because I do not think there is any hypocrisy in her'.

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Sydney Smith      Print: Book
