'Brought "A Fortnights Ramble to the Lakes" from the Chapel Library; also the "Analytical Review" for July 1798, to read a masterly critique on the "Castle Spectre", which I saw performed last winter; they allow Mr Lewis no praise at all, indeed plagiarisms (chiefly from Mrs Radcliffe's Publications) are visible on every page.'
