| Evidence: | 'I am really frightened when I think that you are reading my book critically - It seems to me such a wretched piece of work - written much of it in a state of pain that makes me look at its pages now as if written in a dream. The second volume only tells anything new - I fear I shall be very much ashamed of it'
