| Evidence: | 'There is no plainer way of testifying my entire approval of the matter contained in your last letter than rigidly adhering to the plan you have sketched for me. This I am endeavouring to do - I immediately commenced an active search through the libraries of my acquaintance for some of the books you named... I prefer[r]ed acqu[a]inting myself with the history of England through the medium of Clarendon. Clarendon however is 'out of fashion'.' |
