Evidence: | Dorothy Wordsworth reflects on prospect that her brother William might turn to newspaper journalism for a living: 'This reminds me of the last Edinburgh Review which I saw at Mr. Wilson's. There never was such a compound of despicable falsehood, malevolence and folly as the concluding part of the Review of Burns's Poems (which was ... all that I thought it worth while to read being the only part in which my Brother's works are alluded to).' |
