Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'Did you read a little piece of Carlyles on the death of Charles Buller, that appeared about a month ago in the London Examiner? I never heard of Chas Buller before; but was struck with the beautiful testimonial after his death; I think I can remember the exact words of one part - 'And in his patience with the much that he could not do, let us grant there was something very beautiful too'.'
