| Evidence: | John Wilson Croker to Sir Robert Peel, 7 October 1835:
'I am glad you like Robespierre. It is only an essay, which you put me upon, and which I wrote at the seaside without a single book but the "Liste des Condamnes." When I came home I spent a couple of days in verifying, as far as I could, my recollections; but it is miserably short of what it ought to have been, and even of what it would have been, if I had written it at leisure and among my books.' |
