Sir Edward Coke : unknown

Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 17 June 1839: 'I mean to make an extract of your legal admirations and send them to my brother George who begins his circuits next year as a BARRISTER!! I shall be curious to observe how his enthusiasm for his profession, which actually set him down to read Coke among this exquisite scenery, when he came down with me last year [...] will bear up under the infliction.'

Elizabeth Barrett : 'The Legend of the Browne Rosarie'

Arabella Moulton-Barrett to Samuel Moulton-Barrett, 15 August 1839: 'Georgie [brother] is at Torquay, & he wrote out and sent to me the other day, Ba's ballad, unknown to her -- & by doing so, Papa says he has committed a breach of morality & he refuses to read it. I, not being quite so strict, have read it & am quite overflowing with gratitude to George for being so very IMMORAL -- It is most beautiful [...] but SO horrible [...] my hair felt inclined to turn [italics]upward[end italics] as I read it!'
