Reading Experience:
Evidence:
"I attempt to read a book which attacks my most cherished sentiments as calmly as one which corroborates them. I have not read your writings slightly, I have daily occasion to recur to them, but it has been twenty years since 'Political Justice' was written, and have men ceased to fight, has vice and misery wasted away? No, therefore modification is required."
