F. Cohen : [?review of] Paradise of Coquettes

The Rev. P. Elmsley to John Murray (1815), regarding the Quarterly Review: 'I think you have not been very brilliant of late. I must say there is as great a difference between Jeffrey's best papers and your politics as between Handel and his bellows-blower [...] Is there not too much of the dry rot? Barrow ought not to ride you so unmercifully [...] I want to know, what I don't expect you to tell me, who [italics]did[end italics] the Paradise of Coquettes? Is it not the same hand which [italics]did] "Brand's Popular Antiquities" in the last number but one. I should be sorry to have my brain so full of cobwebs as that gentleman's, be he who he may. Then, your politician, who talks about that "enemy to Europe, the King of Saxony," is a most useful performer.'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Rev. P. Elmsley      Print: Serial / periodical
