| Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Richard Hengist Horne, 23 December 1843:
'One or two volumes of the Memoirs of the queens of England, I have read -- & they seemed
to me to show industry & good taste in the selection & compilation of material. But I did not
read any more, just because I like the old chronicles & dislike the compiling spirit.'
