Evidence: | 'To set against your new Novel, of which nobody ever heard before & perhaps never may again, We have got "Ida of Athens" by Miss Owenson; which must be very clever, because it was written as the Authoress says, in three months. - We have only read the Preface yet; but her Irish Girl does not make me expect much. - If the warmth of her Language could affect the Body, it might be worth reading in this weather.' |
