| Evidence: | 'I have as yet read very few articles in the Edinburgh Review, having lent it to a sick countess, who only wished to read it because a few copies only had arrived in London.
I like very much the review of Davy, think the review of Espriela much too severe and am extremely vexed by the review of Hoyle's Exodus. The levities it contains will I am sure give very great offence'. |
