Frances Brooke : The History of Lady Julia Mandeville

[Catherine Talbot to Elizabeth Carter, 21 July 1763:] 'I am curious to know whether you have at Spa (as at all places of that sort here) a circulating bookseller: if you have I shall not wonder you have no time to write, for as his shop must contain the whole collected nonsense of Europe, it must be a temptation irresistible. We have a Lady a Julia Mandeville here, written by Mrs Sheridan [sic], that has faults and excellencies enough to raise it above this denomination.'

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Catherine Talbot      Print: Book
