William Godwin : Mary Wollstonecraft
'Poor Godwin is a terrific example for all conjugal biography; but he has marked that path which may be avoided? The title of Mrs Owens? new work has something very charming in it: ?Ida of Athens? ? I have not yet been able to read any of her novels. I am now reading Leo the X, by Rescoe. War, religion, laws and elevated mankind are my delight, for among them I increase my love for politics of the present day, and find that our great enemy is less wicked than most heroes and politicians have been, and at the same time a vast deal wiser than them all.'

'With the accomplished and honourable family of the Kembles [Elizabeth Inchbald] was long on terms of close intimacy. While her husband painted, she and John Philip Kemble read. On Sundays, if they were not near a Catholic chapel, it was she or her husband who read Mass to their visitor [Philip Kemble], who listened with due humility.'
