Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 9 February 1841:
'If you are looking out for romances to melt away the sense of snow & long evenings from your invalid [i.e. Mitford's father], there is the American Dr Bird's "Nick of the Woods" -- which for adventure & hair breadth escapes & rapid movement from the beginning to the end, will charm you far above the freezing point, though face to face with a thermometer. I recommend to you "Nick of the Woods". I read it lately myself, & went forthwith by metempsychosis into a pilgrim of those vast sighing forests'. |
