Lady Georgiana Leveson Gower : Ellen Middleton

Lady Georgiana Fullerton [nee Leveson Gower] to her mother, Harriet, Countess Granville [from letter enclosed in letter of 4 April 1844 from Lady Granville to her sister Lady Carlisle]: 'I am rather angry with Charles Granville for having shown the proof sheets [of Ellen Middleton] to Lord Clarendon, and I regret for my own sake that he praises it so extravagantly. I think it is like when a new beauty appears. Instead of prepossessing people in its favour, it will make them find fault with it.'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Lord Clarendon      Print: Unknown, In proof
